The levels of microbial contamination from different environmental sources in the
process of fish curing in five coastal districts of Andhra Pradesh are reported. The
descending order of halophilic bacterial contamination is (1) solar salt, drying
ground (DG), soil, raised cemented platform (RCP), sea sand (SS) and fish skin
surface (FSS) for red halophilic bacteria; (2) DG, soil, FSS, RCP, solar salt and
SS for Halomonas spp. and (3) soil, FSS, solar salt, RCP, DG and SS with respect
to slime producing bacteria. A positive correlation was observed with solar salt
and SS for red halophiles, soil for Halomonas spp., and DG and solar salt for slime
producing bacteria. The sources of contamination in relation to cured product
showed that (a) solar salt, RCP and soil for red halophilic bacteria, (b) soil, solar
salt and RCP for Halomonas spp., and (c) DG, soil and solar salt for slime producing
bacteria as best sets. An inverse relationship was observed in the occurrence of
red halophiles and slime producing bacteria at different fish curing environs.
Occurrence of Halomonas spp., in fish drying grounds is reported for the first time
