Antibiotic-resistant bacteria distributed in fish farms are recently recognized as an agent that may give damages on human health. The bacteria indigenous to seawater environment may have become resistant to antibiotics in fish farms, or the bacteria which became resistant in terrestrial environments may have flown into fish farms. Both of the bacteria are likely to transfer the resistance genes to marine bacteria. It is our concern whether such resistant bacteria persist in seawater and disseminate drug-resistance gene to the other bacteria.
