The inshore areas of Tabarka and Bizerte are not submitted to the bacterian pollution. The "Old Port" of Bizerte is mainly contaminated all the year round and sometimes polluted the neighbouring urban beach. The lagoon of Bizerte presents any bacterian pollution and could be adapted to the conchyliculture and to the stabulation of Bivalves, with before some important precautions.

[Technical note on determining the sanitary quality of edible bivalves]. / Note technique sur la détermination de la qualité sanitaire des bivalves comestibles.

The authors propose two new technics swift and accurate, to determine the sanitary quality of edible Bivalves. They experiment their technics on a sample of Mussels subjected in a conchal area to the method of self filtering.

[Evaluation of Salmonella 1977 to 1982]. / Bilan des Salmonella pendant les années 1977 à 1982.

[Bacterial pollution of seawater: comparison of technics of sampling and analysis]. / Pollution bactériologique de l'eau de mer: comparaison de techniques d'échantillonnages et d'analyses.

From sampling in three areas neighbouring Tunis, the first polluted, the second contaminated and the third clean, the authors point out that the technic of multiple samples using the "Lactose Broth" is the most sensible to faecal pollution.

[Preliminary note on the study of seawater pollution of the Saharan coast of Tunisia]. / Note préliminaire à l'étude de la pollution du milieu marin sur les côtes sahéliennes de la Tunisie.

The study to an analyse of 726 samples of sea water, taken monthly (1977-1978) at 23 stations. At the basis of the data concerning the NPP of total coliformas, 75,5% of the samples point out a clean water for the bathing place, 11,04% = "acceptable" and 9,96% = "dirty". Considering the data about the MPP of fecal coliformas and of fecal streptocques, the sanitary state is reported in 94,23% "clean for the bathing place", 1,77% "acceptable" and 4% dirty.
