ABSTRACT
Esta investigação teve como objetivo efetuar o monitoramento da qualidade higiênico-sanitária em ostras (Crassostrea gigas) e águas salinas de fazendas marinhas da Baía Sul da Ilha de Santa Catarina, por meio de microrganismos indicadores, durante o período de um ano. As amostras de ostras e águas salinas foram submetidas a ensaios microbiológicos para enumeração de coliformes a 35°C, coliformes a 45°C e Escherichia coli. Foram avaliados os parâmetros físico químicos de temperatura, salinidade, turbidez e pH nas águas e pH nas ostras. Foram observadas correlações positivas entre as contagens de coliformes a 35°C, coliformes a 45°C e E. coli nas amostras de águas salinas e de carne das ostras; e diferenças estatisticas significativas foram verificadas entre as contagens de coliformes a 45°C nas amostras de águas salina provenientes da região E. Os parâmetros físico-químicos apresentaram pouca ou nenhuma correlação estatística com as contagens bacteriológicas. Considerando-se a Baía Sul em toda sua extensão, observou se a influência do índice pluviométrico sobre as contagens bacteriológicas obtidas nas águas e nas ostras. As contagens de coliformes a 45°C observadas nas águas salinas estavam de acordo com os parâmetros descritos na legislação brasileira, contudo, ressalta-se a importância da implantação de saneamento básico em regiões de cultivo de moluscos bivalves, assim como o constante monitoramento bacteriológico de indicadores de qualidade nas águas e nos moluscos.
This investigation was conducted for one year in order to monitor the hygienic sanitary conditions of oysters(Crassostrea gigas) and saline waters from sea farms at the South Bay of Santa Catarina Island, by means ofmicroorganism indicators. Oysters and saline waters samples were assayed by bacteria counting techniquefor coliforms at 35°C, coliforms at 45°C and Escherichia coli. Physical and chemical parameters were assessedin water samples (pH, salinity, turbidity and temperature) and oyster samples (pH). Positive correlations oncoliform counts at 35°C and at 45°C, and E. coli were observed within saline waters and samples of oyster meat.Statistically significant differences on coliforms counting at 45ºC were observed among saline water samplescollected from the region E. Physical-chemical parameters showed somewhat no statistical correlation with microorganism counting. Nonetheless, the influence of rainfall indices in the Great Florianopolis region over the bacteriological counting in saline waters and oysters could be observed. The coliforms counting at 45°C in saline water samples complied with the parameters established by the Brazilian legislation, although the basicsanitation at bivalve shellfish growing sites and a regular bacteriological quality monitoring by using specificindicators are demanded for the culturing water and for growing oysters.

Objective To know the present sanitary status of bathing beach in Haikou,and provide the scientific data for improving the assessment of microorganisms contamination of bathing beach. Methods The routine water quality data and related meteorological data of the bathing beach were collected from 2007 to 2009. In July 8th-10th 2009,a high grade bathing beach and an ordinary one were selected,four sampling sites were selected where the contamination by feces were often seen,the number of swimmers was the largest,the samples were collected from the deep-water areas and sand beach respectively,and fecal coliform and enterococcus were examined. Results The concentration of fecal coliform was(1 085.8?538.8)cfu/L in water and(120 000.0?32 659.9)cfu/1 000 g in sand,and the E.faecalis was(32.5?19.1)cfu/L in water and(2 425.0?689.8)cfu/1 000 g in sand. The numbers of the two kinds of bacteria in water decreased with the increase of distance from the land. The concentration of bacteria was positively correlated to the day's rainfall(P
