Abstract The paper presents the results of a bacteriological survey carried out on 2917samples of frozen prawn ,55 samples of raw material, 35 samples of water, 4 samples of ice and 42 samples of various equipments used for processing . The survey covered a period of three years (1960 - 63) and comprised of samples collected from five of the leading
processing factories in Cochin . Frozen products tested consisted of headless (marine and fresh water), peeled and deveined and cooked frozen samples . Statistical analysis of the data shows that there is no significant variation between samples and between factories with respect to product quality . The standard plate count varied between
1 .0 X 104 and 1 .0 X 106 per gram for headless and between 1 .0 X 104 and 1 .0 X 107 for peeled and deveined and cooked frozen samples. Majority of the samples had bacterial load well within the limits prescribed for such products.
