Abstract:
It is very difficult to control Streptococcosis, since it always appear when the fishes are
stressed by water quality. Moreover the bacterium is ubiquitous. This project is aimed at
providing basic information that will help any further studies related to this infection.
The focus of this study is to determine the exact time when the gills tissue of Tilapia are
completely infected by the bacteria, Streptococcus agalactiae and also the histopathology
effect towards the gills through histology processing. The sampling location is located at
Kawasan Pentemakan lkan Air Tawar Berkelompok at Pantai Ali, Kuala Berang, Hulu
Terengganu, Terengganu. The experiments covered the aspects of bacteria preparation,
gills preparation and histological processing.
