Sanitary and bacteriological evaluation of the efficiency of cleaning common carp reared in wastewater supplied ponds and transferred into running river water

Abstract

Sanitary and bacteriological water quality in wastewater supplied ponds and quality of flesh of carps reared in the ponds can be improved by a cut-off of sewage supply for 5-7 weeks before fish harvest. Further cleaning of carp for 14 days in running river water of I class of purity causes elimination of most indicatory bacteria. Final product is a good quality fish meat, bacteriologically and sanitary safe for human consumption.
