English Abstract

This study was conducted for isolation of the gram negative bacterial causative agents of skin ulceration in ponds carp fish in Sulaimani province.

Samples were taken from 5 ponds of common carp fish (Cyprinus CarpioL.) from different regions in the Sulaimani province , which have an ulcerated skin lesions, available in Kfry, Kanarwe, Chwarta and 2 ponds in Dukan.The total number of fish were 17700 ,morbidity rate was (67.7%), and mortality rate was(20.7) .The result of the study revealed that there were 8 species of gram negative bacteria isolated from skin lesion, liver and kidney, which were the following bacteria (Pseudomonas spp, Citrobacter freundii, Citrobacter amalonaticus, Enterobacter aerogenes, Serratia odorifera, Escherichia coli, Proteus Volgaris,and Edwardsiella tarda).

All 8 species of bacteria were isolated from skin lesions and seven species of bacteria were isolated from liver, while only 5 species of bacteria were isolated from the kidney that were (Pseudomonas sp, Citrobacter freundii, Citrobacter amalonaticus, Enterobacter aerogenes, Edwardsiella tarda).

The high isolated bacterial prevalence in this study were Pseudomonas sps (19.35%) and Citrobacter freundii (19.35%) which have been isolated from 2 ponds, from the skin lesion in (6.45%), from the liver (6.45%) and the kidney (6.45%) of the infected fish.

The rate of isolated Edwardsiella tarda was (12.90 %), from the skin lesion of 2 pondsin a ratio of (6.45%) while (3.22 %) from the liver and the kidney (3.22 %) in only one pond.
