Influence of sampling depth and post-sampling analysis time on the occurrence of coliforms and vibrio in water and shellfish

The bacteriological quality was examined at the water surface, 3 m depth and in the shellfish flesh, and the results were compared to other potential pathogenic indicator organisms. The study was conducted at Long Harbour (mussel farm), St. John's and Outer Cove sites of Newfoundland, Canada. B...
