Summary

An experiment was conducted to determine if a method for enumeration of Pseudomonas fluorescens in less than 11 hours could be used to predict potential spoilage of fresh fish of four species. In each of three separate replications, five boneless fillets from each species of fish, including rainbow trout, Atlantic salmon, red groper, and tilapia were obtained fresh from a retail outlet. For each species, six 25-grammes samples of fish flesh were aseptically removed from each fillet, placed into a polyethylene bag, and stored at 3 deg C for 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, or 5 days. After storage, samples were analyzed for psychrotrophic plate count.
