Ninety random samples of fresh and frozen each of Tilapia niloticus, Mugil cephalus and Shrimp (15 of each) were collected from different fish markets at Qaliuobia Governorate. All collected samples were bacteriologically examined for determination of Aerobic Plate Count (APC), psychrotrophic count, Isolation and Identification of pseudomonas and Aeromonas species. The bacteriological examination revealed the mean values of APC in the examined fish samples was 1.52×10 6 ± 0.47×10 6 and 3.08×10 5 ± 1.31×10 5 in fresh and frozen Tilapia niloticus, 7.14×10 5 ± 1.84×10 5 and 2.59×10 5 ± 0.62×10 5 in fresh and frozen Mugil cephalus and 7.81×10 4 ± 2.07×10 4 and 1.36×10 4 ± 0.42×10 4 /g, in fresh and frozen shrimp . The mean values of psychrotrophic count in fresh and frozen Tilapia niloticus were 2.67×10 5 ± 0.45×10 5 and 5.36×10 5 ± 1.24×10 5 cfu/g, respectively. 4.91×10 4 ± 0.93×10 5 and 1.72×10 5 ± 0.46×10 5 / gm respectively in fresh and frozen Mugil cephalus. 7.81×10 4 ± 2.07×10 4 and 6.51×10 4 ± 1.80×10 4 /g, in fresh and frozen shrimp. The incidence of Pseudomonas species was 33.3% and 53.3%in the examined samples of fresh and frozen Tilapia niloticus, 46.7% and 60.0 %in fresh and frozen Mugil cephalu, respectively, 33.3 %and 40.0 %in fresh and frozen shrimp, respectively. The incidence of Aeromonas species were 46.7 %and 33.3 %in the examined samples of fresh and frozen Tilapia niloticus, 53.3 % and 40.0% in fresh and frozen Mugil cephalus, respectively, 33.3 % and 40.0 %in fresh and frozen shrimp, respectively.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
