Summary

Rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) were inoculated with 3 to 4 log10 spores per gram of fish of a mixed pool of four strains of Clostridium botulinum type E (Beluga, Minnesota, G21-5, and 070). The trout were vacuum-skin packaged with either oxygen-barrier or oxygen-permeable films. Trout packaged with oxygen permeable film were stored at 4 deg C for 21 days, while trout packaged with oxygen-barrier film were stored either at 4 deg C for 21 days or at 10 deg C for 15 days. Storage at 10 deg C was used to simulate commercial temperature abuse.
