dc.description.abstractTo examine the influence of anthropogenic activities on the marine ecosystem around the Andaman and Nicobar Islands, a study was conducted to investigate the abundance of heterotrophic, indicator and pathogenic bacteria during the monsoon season. We noticed the higher abundance of heterotrophic, indicator (Escherichia coli and Enterococcus faecalis) and pathogenic bacterial counts (Aeromonas hydrophila, Enterobacter aerogens, Escherichia coli strain O157:H7, Shigella dysenteriae and Vibrio parahaemolyticus) near the 10o channel, which is the principal route to reach Andaman mainland. Most of the stations are offshore (chosen to cover shipping tracks) at a distance ranging from 41 to 266 km from the coast. The nearest station to the coast was at 21 km away. Apart from those mentioned above, several other pathogenic bacteria were also detected such as Klebsiella pneumoniae, Salmonella paratyphi, Vibrio cholera and Vibrio vulnificus but they are sparsely detected at few stations only.
