Abstract: | Marine organisms such as shellfish are capable of filtering large amounts of sea water and of retaining pathogenic bacteria. This property constitutes a way for evaluating the level of bacterial contamination in sea water. Despite some limitations, the use of shellfish as concentrating material appears to improve the bacterial enumeration results both in accuracy and consistency. |
