title: Retention of Salmonella typhimurium by certain species of fish and shrimp.
abstract: Marine fish (Mugil cephalus, Fundulus heteroclitus, Trachinotus carolinus), lake shrimp (Penaeus setiferus), and channel catfish (Ictalurus lacustris punctatus) were exposed to Salmonella typhimurium and cultured after 2 hours and at daily intervals for 30 days. Salmonella typhimurium was recovered from all exposed animals after 2 hours and for 30 days in all animals except P setifurus. The organisms could not be recovered from those shrimp after the initial sampling period. Apparent salmonellosis developed in certain specimens of M cephalus and T carolinus 10 to 14 days after exposure to S typhimurium.
