Abstract:

 A study was under taken to assess the microbial quality of important edible marine fish collected from fish landing center and market of Machilipatnam. The skin, meat, intestine and gills of black pomfret were analyzed for total bacterial count(TBC), Escherichia coli,Total fecal coliform(TFC), Staphylococcus aureus, Vibrio spp.,Salmonella spp., Shigellaspp.,Yeast and mouldscount. Isolation and identification of pathogenic bacteria was done according to USFDA bacteriological analytical manual.The results of the study indicated that pathogenic bacteria detectedin different parts of fishes collected from two localities. It waslittle more in market samplescompared to fish landing centre. In market samples shigella spp., were ranged from log 4.0 to 4.6, E. coli were ranged from 3.6 to 4.5 were found in high log concentration, when compared to fish landing center machilipatnam. Necessary action should be taken to control the pathogenic microorganisms during transport and storage of fishes.
