Vibrio bacteriophages were isolated by enrichment from 177 of 643 samples of marine molluscan shellfish, crustaceans, seawater, and sediments. The predominant bacteriophage types isolated were specific for some strains ofVibrio parahaemolyticus. A high frequency of phage isolations was also observed with strains of agar-digesting vibrios (21 of 56) and psychrophilic vibrios (14 of 72) that were originally isolated from non-shellfish growing areas. No bacteriophages were isolated againstV. alginolyticus and only rarely forV. anguillarum even though these were the two most abundant species found in near-shore environments. NoV. cholerae phages were isolated. It was also determined from quantitative studies on the Pacific oyster (Crassostrea gigas ) obtained from two environments in Washington and Oregon that the titers ofV. parahaemolyticus bacteriophages increased with increasing seasonal water temperatures and that this was proportional to the increase in numbers of mesophilic vibrios and not with the incidence ofV. parahaemolyticus. Titers ofV. parahaemolyticus bacteriophages occasionally exceeded 106 per g of oyster during the summer months. SpecificV. parahaemolyticus bacteriophages were also isolated from market seafoods and other marine samples that originated in cold environments where no mesophilic vibrios are expected to be found. The possibility thatV. parahaemolyticus bacteriophages originate fromVibrio spp. other thanV. parahaemolyticus and the role of these bacteriophages in the ecology of marine vibrios are discussed.
