105 random samples of marine fish represented by Entrigla gurnardus, Mullus surmuletus, and Pargus pargus (35 of each) were collected from different fish markets in Damanhur city, Behaira government. All collected samples were bacteriologically examined for detection of Vibrio parahaemolyticus. The obtained results indicated that the incidence of Vibrio species isolated from the examined samples of Entrigla gurnardus, Mullus surmuletus, and Pargus pargus were 60%, 42.9% and 37.1%, respectively. Moreover, V. parahaemolyticus was isolated at highest level from the examined samples of Entrigla gurnardus (8.6%) followed by Mullus surmuletus (2.8%). While, all examined samples of Pargus pargus were free V. parahaemolyticus. Concerning the other Vibrio species, V. alginolyticus, V. damsela, V. fluvialis, V. mimicus and V. vulnificus were isolated from the examined samples of marine fish with varying percentages. The public health significance of the isolated microorganisms and the probable sources of marine fish contamination as well as some recommendations to prevent them to gain access to such food items were discussed.
