dc.description.abstractSince bivalve mussels are able to graze heavily on bacteria, in this paper it is hypothesized that when mussels are cultured with fish, the filtering efficiency of the mussels will keep the bacterial population below a certain threshold and thus assist in reducing the risk of bacterial disease outbreaks. The ability of the filter-feeding bivalve mussel Pilsbryoconcha exilis to control Streptococcus agalactiae was tested in a laboratory-scale tilapia culture system. Juvenile Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus), the bivalve mussel as well as the bacteria were cultured at different combinations using four treatments: treatment-1: mussel and bacteria but no fish, treatment-2: tilapia and mussel but no bacteria, treatment-3: tilapia and bacteria but no mussel, and treatment- 4: tilapia, mussels, and bacteria.en_US
