Summary

The microbiological quality of farm-reared, tropical freshwater prawn (Macrobrachium rosenbergii) stored at 2 different temperatures was studied. The lactics, vibrios, E. coli, aeromonads, staphylococci, anaerobes, and moulds initially present were determined. Salmonella and Vibrio cholerae were present in the prawn muscle. The prawn muscle held at room temperature was organoleptically acceptable up to 8 h. However, the prawn muscle stored at freezer temperatures (-10 to -15 °C) was found to be in an acceptable condition even after 30 days of storage.
