Reactions of fish to microorganisms in wastewater.

RESUMO
Fish were inoculated with various microorganisms present in wastewater. A threshold concentration was determined over which these microorganisms were recovered from the muscles. The threshold concentrations were different for bacteria, bacteriophages, and polio 1 LSc virus. The threshold values were lower when fish were inoculated than when they were immersed in water containing these organisms. Depuration experiments were efficient when the fish did not contain high concentrations of bacteria in their muscles. As the threshold concentrations are an expression of the capability of the immune system of the fish, these values can be useful for the design and management of fishponds in which treated wastewater is used.
