Özet: Experiments were designed to evaluate bacterial flora in semen culture of brook trout (Salvelinus fontinalis). Herein, semen samples were collected from fish and standard microbiology techniques were processed for bacterial flora. The samples were serially diluted in physiological saline (NaCl: 0.85%). Aliquots of 0.1 ml of each dilution were spread-plated onto Plate Count Agar (PCA) (Total Bacteria Count), Rose Bengal Agar (RBC) (Yeast-Mold Count), VRBD (Enterobacteriaceae count) and Mannitol Salt Agar (MSA) (Micrococcus/Staphylococcus count). Micrococcus/Staphylococcus group bacteria (11.11%) were counted from brook trout (S. fontinalis) semen. Total bacteria count varied between 103-105 cfu ml-1 in semen.
