| Abstract | Quantitative and qualitative studies on the bacterial flora of fresh Indian mackerel (Rastrelliger kanagurta) have been made. The total native flora as well as 5 ppm. CTC insensitive flora of the fish showed variations with season. About 90 % of the fresh fish flora was sensitive to 5 ppm . CTC. The natural flora of the fresh fish consisted of Vibrios, Pseudomonas, Achromobacter, Flavobacterium, Corynebacteria,Micrococci, Bacillus and yeasts . In the CTC insensitive flora, Vibrios predominated followed by yeasts . The selection of bacterial genera during storage of the fish in ice and in 5 ppm. CTC incorporated ice has also been investigated . At the time of spoilage, Pseudomonas were found to be the dominant flora of the fish stored in both types of ice . |
