Summary

The study deals with the growth of Listeria monocytogenes in crawfish tail meat. The lag phase and generation times are studied for different temperatures. From 6 deg C on, the growth is immediate and exponential. At 0 deg C, little multiplication was observed. A thermal treatment can be used to eliminate Listeria from crawfish tail meat prior to retail sale.
