Summary

For this study, triplicate oyster samples were split into four treatment groups: control, normal-packaged; control, vacuum-packaged; inoculated, normal-packaged; and inoculated, vacuum-packaged. Length of frozen storage had a significant effect on decreasing total aerobic bacteria and V. vulnificus. Also, vacuum-packaged, samples showed significantly lower concentrations of V. vulnificus over the length of the study than did the normal-sealed samples.
