Expt | Phage administration method | Vol or wt of phage solution or pellets | Phages (PFU) fish−1 |
---|---|---|---|
1 | Bath | 2.5-liter bath (1 × 108 PFU ml−1) | |
Oral intubation | 100 μl | 1 × 108 | |
2 | Phage-coated feed | 2% of fish body wt (1 g feed fish−1)b | 2.5 × 107 |
In all experiments, phage stock concentrations were 1 × 109 PFU ml−1.
Mean fish weight, measured prior to the start of experiment 2, was 50 g.
