MICROFLORA inhabiting the intestinal tract of fishes are reported to contribute digestive enzymes required for better digestion and assimilation of food by the fish (Hamid et al. 1979, Cahill, 1990) and may also form a source of nutrients (Trust and Sparrow, 1974). The establishment of stable permanent microflora in the intestinal tract of fish are reported to takes place gradually with age of fish, type and nature of microbes in food and water, the ability of microbes to combat a variety of extremeconditions and fish defence (Shawn Baskin, 2000). Studies are lacking on the microbial aspects of Indian cultivable carps and their environment (Das and Mukherjee, 1999) Further, information on the colonized microflora of intestinal tract and their enzymatic characteristics are also scanty. There is greater scope to utilize the beneficial intestinal microflora of fish for enhancing growth and survival of younger carps. This communication describes the findings on mean total viable counts (TVC) of intestinal microflora harbouring juvenile common carp (Cyprinus carpio), composition of different bacterial groups to the TVC and enzymatic activities of different microbial isolates.
