Summary

In addition to taking samples of prawns, observations were made on the current practices of cooking, handling and transportation of prawns both on board and on shore. Results are presented on temperatures, cooked and raw prawns, coliforms, staphylococci, vibrio, overall microbiology with observations on hygiene. These observations and the microbial counts indicate there is a need for improved procedures for handling prawns at every step in the chain from the boat through to the retail outlets.
