Abstract

In the present study, naturally infected albino convict cichlids (Cichlasoma
nigrofasciatum) were examined bacteriologically. The result of the examination
Puseudomonas putida was
isolated from the fish. After this result, comparing the difference of this
infection in normal and albino fish was aimed. So, the trial system for this
purpose was established. Normal and albino fish were infected by the bacteria
and the results were observed. At the end of the experiment, all albino fish
were observed to have died due to infection. Whereas deaths were not observed
in the normal fish. As a result, albino fish (Cichlasoma nigrofasciatum) were found to be more sensitive to Puseudomonas putida infection than
normal fish.
