- Abstract
The present investigation was carried out to assess the hygienic and sanitary conditions onboard trawler-cumpurse seiner and Ratnagiri city fish market. Microbiological analysis was carried out on monthly basis for the samples taken from fish body surface, fish holding crates onboard trawler-cum-purse seiner and fish body surface, plastic tubs, fish cutting platforms, fish displaying sheets, ice, water from Ratnagiri city fish market. Samples were analysed for the enumeration of total plate count by using TGBE agar and isolation of E. coli and S. aureus by using T-7 agar and Baird Parker agar respectively. Ice and water samples were analysed for presence of E. coli by using MPN method. The fish cutting platforms showed comparatively higher bacterial load with respect to E. coli and S. aureus during the study period. Higher bacterial counts in all samples were noted during summer months. Unhygienic and poor sanitary conditions are responsible for increase in contamination from onboard to fish market.
