| Abstract: | A new system named AquaPlak® designed for evaluating heterotrophic bacteria and those belonging to the genus Vibrio was compared to the standard method of total viable count by spread plating. Water samples from a shrimp farm were evaluated by the two procedures over a 3-month period. The spread plating technique gave significantly higher viable counts for both Vibrio and heterotrophic bacteria than the AquaPlak® system. |
