(Lates calcarifer) between ice and salt storage methods. The main objectives
of the study were to identify different bacteria constituents and quantitative
bacterial load in Asian seabass when preserved with ice and sea salt. For the
purpose of this study, Asian seabass was stored in two different conditions
of ice-chilled and salted for 2 days. All fish samples were analyzed by performing
bacteriological analysis and the isolated bacteria were identified by using
API® identification
system. In case of the quantity of bacteria in the flesh, Chilling and salting
had no significant difference to the quantity of bacteria on fish flesh. As
for the skin, salt-preserved fish showed higher quantity of bacteria than ice-preserved
fish. Acinetobacter baumannii and Pseudomonas fluorescens had
been identified from skin sample of ice-chilled fish. Besides P. fluorescens
and A. baumannii other isolates identified include Vibrio and
Myxobacteria. All bacteria were cocci-shaped except a few bacilli. In
term of bacteria number and morphological characteristics, ice-chilled preserved
fish was better than salt preserved fish. Overall, less number of bacteria was
observed in both ice-chilled and sea salt preserved fish. The result of this
study indicated that the quick preservation is a very important factor to control
bacterial load in the preserved fish.]]>Aaraas, R., I.J. Hernar, A. Vorre, H. Bergslien and B.T.
