This study investigated the presence of bacterial species in soil, water, and crab samples from Uppalapadu Lake, Andhra Pradesh. Biochemical tests revealed five distinct bacterial species: Pseudomonas, Vibrio, Klebsiella, Escherichia coli (E. coli), and Staphylococcus. Pseudomonas species were the most prevalent (40%) in Labeo rohita intestines, followed by Vibrio sp. (27%), E. coli (20%), Klebsiella sp. (16%), and Staphylococcus sp. (12%). Similarly, Pseudomonas spp. predominated in soil and water samples, while Staphylococcus spp. had the lowest prevalence. The biochemical analysis of bacterial cultures is presented in table. The study highlights the importance of monitoring bacterial populations in aquatic environments to ensure sustainable aquaculture and prevent the spread of diseases. The findings have implications for the development of targeted interventions to mitigate the impact of bacterial populations on environmental health and aquaculture productivity.
