Water samples taken at monthly intervals from three sites in the mouth of the Patuxent River in the Chesapeake Bay were cultured for bdellovibrios lytic to Vibrio parahaemolyticus and for total viable bacterial counts. The number of bdellovibrios recovered decreased from the spring months (April, May, June (AMJ) until very few were detected during the winter months (January, February, March (JFM), which also coincided with the lowest water temperatures. During the AMJ season there was a significant increase as compared with the JFM season in the number of bdellovibrios for all sites. The highest number of bdellovibrios was recovered during each season from the shoreline water sample, with one exception. The seasonal variation in the number of bdellovibrios was observed to correlate statistically with the water temperature.
每月从切萨皮克湾帕塔克森特河口的三个地点采集水样，培养对副溶血性弧菌有溶菌作用的蛭弧菌，并进行总活菌计数。蛭弧菌的回收数量从春季月份（4月、5月、6月（AMJ））开始减少，直到冬季月份（1月、2月、3月（JFM））检测到的数量极少，而冬季月份的水温也是最低的。在AMJ季节，与JFM季节相比，所有地点的蛭弧菌数量都有显著增加。除了一个例外，每个季节从海岸线水样中回收的蛭弧菌数量最多。观察到蛭弧菌数量的季节性变化与水温在统计学上相关。
