Abstract
Lagoa dos Patos estuary is an important artisanal fishing pole because it represents an area for breeding several species of fish and shellfish. Water is directly influenced by meteorological factors, which interfere in the ocean water into the estuary and flow, reflecting on the salinity. For this reason, there is the possibility of V. parahaemolyticus be found in the lagoon estuary; consequently the fish caught from these place could offer risks to the health of consumers. The objective of this study was to evaluate the presence of V. parahaemolyticus in the Lagoa dos Patos estuary, and in the fishes captured from small-scale fishing and processing. Fifty-six samples of fish caught from the Lagoa dos Patos estuary were analyzed for the presence of V. parahaemolyticus. Three of five species analyzed, shrimp (Farfantepenaeus paulensis), mullet (Mugil platanus) and sole (Paralichthys orbignyanus) harbored this microorganism. These results serve as a warning for providing the best technical oversight to the production of fish, and also the adoption of hygienic and sanitary measures to prevent the risk of transmission of this pathogen to consumers. This is the first report on the isolation of V. parahaemolyticus from F. paulensis, M. platanus and P.orbignyanus.
