Summary

MICROBIAL COUNTS OF REFRIGERATED SEAWATER, WHICH HELD SHRIMP AT 271.9 K (-1.1 DEG C) FOR 3 DAYS, RANGED FROM 800 TO 1,500,000 PER ML DEPENDING ON THE SYSTEMS EXAMINED. MOST MICROORGANISMS GREW POORLY IN CHILLED SEAWATER, WITH THE EXCEPTION OF PSEUDOMONAS SP. THEREFORE, THE INITIAL MICROBIAL LOAD OF THE SYSTEM OR OF THE SHRIMP, TENDED TO PLAY A GREATER ROLE IN DETERMINING THE MICROBIAL QUALITY OF THE STOWED SHRIMP THAN THE GROWTH OF MICROORGANISMS IN CHILLED SEAWATER. UNDER OPTIMUM CONDITIONS, REFRIGERATED SEAWATER SPRAY CAN MAINTAIN THE FRESHNESS OF THE SHRIMP FOR 5 DAYS.
