Summary

Mycobacteria were isolated from defrost water and tissue of sole, hake cod, ling, and monkfish on Löwenstein-Jensen medium after incubation at different temperatures. Samples of frozen fish were obtained under sterile conditions inside a refrigeration chamber (-18 °C to -22 °C) in a wholesale market from which these products are distributed to shops for retail sale and human consumption.
