Abstract

Fifty fish specimen belong to seven species; Acanthobrama marmid, Alburnus  mossuleusis, Carasobarbus  luteus, Cyprinus carpio, Garra elegans, G. rufa and Planiliza abu were examined. The fish samples collected from three sites on Tigris River in Baghdad City (Shawaka, ALkraiat and  ALatefia) during the period  from  May to October 2015. Total  bacteria count for each of the skin and gills ranged from 50 ×  to 245  ×  and 51 ×  to 250 ×  cells / g respectively. Ten bacterial genus was diagnosis by used selective identification media, there were Escherichia coli, Enterobacter spp., Edwardsiella sp., Sallmonella spp., Serratia spp., Pseudomonas spp., Citrobacter spp., Klebsilla spp., Proteus spp. and vibrio spp. This study showed that the skin and gill can be colonized by different species of bacteria.
