The obtained results showed that there were a significant difference (P<0.05) in bacterial counts between rural and urban areas in the examined samples of Tilapia nilotica and Mugilcephalus, these results were in accordance with the Egyptian Organization for Standardization and Quality Control (EOS) No.
3494 (2007) for APC while some higher results were recorded in anaerobic counts, Coliforms and Staph.
aureus which were unacceptable.
Meanwhile, the results of coagulase positive Staph.
