“…The prevalence observed in smoked trout (25%) was similar to that reported by Dominguez, Gomez, and Zumalacarregui (2001) (26.3%), but higher than the observed by Johansson et al (1999). With respect to smoked salmon, the reported incidence (10.8%) was similar to that observed in different European surveys (Beaufort et al, 2007;Loncarevic, Tham, & Danielsson-Tham, 1996).…”

“…and L. monocytogenes in smoked fish is not entirely uncommon (11,25), the prevalence of L. monocytogenes in RTE fish products reported here was notably higher than what has been reported in previous Canadian studies (15,16). Farber (16) reported the marked absence of L. monocytogenes in RTE seafood products tested between 1997 and 1999 as part of the Canadian Food Inspection Agency's Quality Management Program.…”

In British Columbia (BC), Canada, food processing facilities licensed under provincial authority are not required to sample for Listeria monocytogenes in food products or processing environments. In 2009, we conducted a survey of dairy, fish, and meat facilities under BC authority to estimate the prevalence of Listeria spp. and L. monocytogenes in ready-to-eat (RTE) foods and production environments. From August to October, 250 RTE food samples and 258 swabs from the food processing environments of 43 facilities were collected. Standard culture methods were applied to both food samples and swabs. Of swabs collected from all 258 environmental surfaces, 15% were positive for Listeria spp. Significantly (P, 0.001) more fish facilities than dairy and meat facilities had food contact surfaces contaminated with Listeria spp. L. monocytogenes was found in RTE foods from fish facilities alone (5 of 12); in all five of the fish facilities with contaminated product, one or more environmental swabs were also positive for L. monocytogenes. The results suggest that while control of L. monocytogenes in BC-inspected dairy and meat facilities is effective in limiting food contamination, there is a need for provincial inspectors to initiate improved monitoring and management of contamination by L. monocytogenes in RTE fish processing facilities.

The quality of fish (anchovy, horse mackerel, whiting, sea bass and sea bream), selling in Istanbul market, were studied. Samples were obtained from the retail fish markets located in three main regions (Region I= Kadikoy, Region II=Besiktas and Region III= Kumkapi) of Istanbul. According to the results of sensory, chemical and microbiological analysis; quality of the samples was lower (P<0.05) in summer then the other seasons due to the high ambient temperatures (32 ±2ºC), and samples obtained from Region III (Kumkapi) was generally better (P<0.05) than the others. Istanbul wholesale fish market, the seafood supplier of the retailers, is also located in Kumkapi. Therefore transport of fish from wholesale market to the retailers in Region III is easy and fast. However, wholesale fish market is far from the local markets in Region I and II. Thus, it was concluded that unsuitable transport conditions of fish from whole sale market to the retailers are the main reasons of poor quality. Vehicles must be equipped with a cooling system, and retailers should properly refrigerate seafood especially in summer season. It is mandatory to apply Turkish legislation of 2002, which is on the regulation of seafood market conditions and harmonious with EC (European Commission) criteria.Bu çalışmanın amacı, İstanbul'da sabit pazarlarda satılan balıkların (hamsi, mezgit, istavrit, çipura ve levrek) kalite düzeylerinin belirlenmesidir. Çalışmada, İstanbul'un üç farklı bölgesinden (Kadıköy= I. bölge, Beşiktaş= II. bölge, Kumkapı= III. bölge) balık örnekleri temin edilmiştir. Balıkların kalitelerini belirlemek için, duyusal, kimyasal ve mikrobiyolojik analizler yapılmıştır. Duyusal, mikrobiyolojik ve kimyasal analiz sonuçlarına göre yaz sezonu boyunca temin edilen örneklerin kalitesi yüksek ortam sıcaklığından (32 ±2ºC) dolayı düşük (P<0.05), III. bölgede satışa sunulan balıkların kalitesi I ve II. bölgelerde satılanlara göre genellikle iyi (P<0.05) bulunmuştur. İstanbul semt pazarlarının ana tedarikçisi olan İstanbul Büyükşehir Belediyesi Balık Hali Kumkapı semtinde bulunmakta olduğundan buradan Kumkapı semtindeki perakendecilere balığın kolay ve hızlı şekilde ulaştırılması mümkün olmaktadır. Balık hali II. ve III. bölgelerdeki satıcılara uzak olduğundan balığın taşınması sıtasındaki uygun olmayan koşulların düşük ürün kalitesine yol açtığı sonucuna varılmaktadır. Taşımada kullanılan araçların soğutma sistemi ile donatılması, perakendecilerde ise özellikle yaz aylarında soğutma koşullarının oluşturulması gereklidir. Avrupa Birliği kriterleri ile uyumlu olan Su ürünleri toptan ve perakende satış yönetmeliği (2002)'nin uygulanması satışa sunulan balıkların kalitesinin korunması için şarttır.
