 | | Samples were plated for total viable counts (TVC) on Nutrient agar; total coliforms (TC) on Macconkeys agar; Vibrio parahaemolyticus like organisms(VPLO) and Vibrio cholerae like organisms(VCLO) on thiosulphate citrate bile sucrose agar; Salmonella, Shigella, Proteus, and Klebsiella like organisms(SALO, SHLO, PKLO) on xylose lysine deoxycholate agar. |
 | | Counts of all these groups were obtained after incubating the samples on the respective selective media at 35 + 2° C. Results of these groups are presented in Fig 1 and Tables 1 and 2. |
 | | There could be many factors governing the survival and mortality of bacteria including physical (such as depth), chemical (dissolved oxygen, salinity, right types of nutrients, pH, dissolved organics, and toxicants) and biological (competition, phages etc). |
