Abstract

Quality of fish is an important criteria for human health. The pathogens like Escherichia coli and Klebsiella pneumoniae can survive and multiply in fish, transferred in to humans from fish used as food and cause food poisoning, diarrhoea, meningitis and septicaemia. Taking into consideration, bacteriological analyses were done to know the quality of fishes sold at retail fish markets of Choryasi Taluka and Surat city. Fish samples were collected from fish markets for enumeration of the total viable count (TVC) and identification of bacteria. Bacteriological analyses of fresh fish samples (Mugil parsia and Stromateus cinereus) showed higher bacterial load with pathogenic bacteria which crossed permissible limit (5×105 CFU/g) except the case of Mugil parsia from vendors of Gabheni village. The fishes were contaminated with Escherichia coli and Klebsiella pneumoniae indicating poor hygiene and sanitary condition of the retail fish markets. Apart from this, A innovative trend in live fish marketing was observed in retail fish market of Katargam to overcome from problems like contaminated and poor quality fishes. Fresh water fishes collected from this live fish market were completely free from bacteria indicating good quality fishes available in the market.
