Ecology of Aeromonas hydrophila in a South Carolina cooling reservoir

Book ·
OSTI ID:6671028
The objectives of this study were: to measure the distribution and abundance of Aeromonas hydrophila in selected sites in a southeastern cooling reservoir while simultaneously monitoring a series of selected water quality parameters; to determine if the ecology of A. hydrophila is integral to the epizootiology of red-sore disease among the largemouth bass (Micropterus salmoides) population in the same reservoir; and to determine if the ecology of A. hydrophila is similar in other southeastern reservoirs and other parts of the United States. The primary study site was Par Pond, an 1012 ha cooling reservoir located on the Savannah River Plant (SRP) near Aiken, South Carolina. The impoundment receives heated effluent from a single nuclear production reactor.
