Abstract	Sea bream (Argyrozona argyrozona) was filleted and cut into pieces (125 to 140 g). Three pieces were sealed in each 12 micron polyester laminated with 230 gauge low density polythene pouches containing 80% CO2 and 20% air (MAP) and air (control) and stored in ice (0° to 4°C). The MAP samples could be organoleptically accepted till 40 days, whereas the control samples was acceptable for 22 days. The storage studies indicated that the total volatile base nitrogen changed from 6.37 to 17.29 mg/100g in case of control samples and 6.37 to 24.57 mg/100g in case of MAP samples at the time of rejection. Total bacterial count in case of control samples increased from 4.85 x 104/g to 4.08 x 107/g within 22 days and similar increase was noticed in the case of MAP samples when stored till the 40th day. The counts of Lactobacilli did not show much increase during storage in both the samples. Plenty of yeast cells were observed in all the samples. Anaerobic Clostridium botulinum type D was present in the samples stored under MAP, indicating that the oxygen tension in the MAP was not sufficient to inhibit the growth of anaerobes.
