| Abstract: | Micro-organiss associated with fresh fish from River Benue were determined.Fish studied were catfish( Auchemogianis occidentali).Carp fish(Labeo coubie), and sucker fish(Echeneis namrates). The Viables counts of the isolateson the gills and skin both ranged from 102 cfu/g to 106 cgfu/g.The total coliforms counts varied between 102 cfu/g to 106 for the two specimen.Bacteria isolated from the 27 fish samples collecteb were Eschericia coli,Shigell spp, Staphylococoous spp and Vibrio spp. The funga species identified were Aspergillus niger and Rhizopus spp.This study showed that , coliforms were more concentrated on the skin of fresh fish from River Benue and this calls for adequate processing methods before consumption |
