Abstract
96 fish samples of fresh fish, 48 each of Tilapia and Mullet species, 24 samples of each were collected from the on Shore
of Manzala Lake and 24 samples of each were collected from
Port Said markets, Egypt. The samples were examined for
total aerobic plate count, total coliform count, E.coli count in
addition to detection of salmonella and shigella to evaluate
Fish quality and safety. The mean values of TAPC, TC and
E.coli in the examined Tilapia fish samples on shore and
markets were 6.3 x 102, 7.3x101 and 1.5x101; 6.8x103,
1.4x103and 2.1x101 CFU/g, respectively. While salmonella
and shigella not detected in 25 g in both on Shore and
Markets fish samples.
The mean values of TAPC, TC and E.coli in the examined
Mullet fish samples on shore and markets were 5.6 x102,
4.2x101 and 1.3x101; 1.4x103, 5.3x101 and 1.6x101 CFU/g,
respectively. While salmonella and shigella not detected in
25 g in both on Shore and markets fish samples.
The significant importance for the bacterial profile revealed
that the increased contamination % in TAPC, TC and E.coli
in Tilapia and Mullet fish samples between on shore and
Markets were 10.8%, 19.2% and 1.4%; 2.5%, 1.3% and
1.3%, respectively.
