Abstract 96 fish samples of fresh fish, 48 each of Tilapia and Mullet species, 24 samples of each were collected from the on Shore of Manzala Lake and 24 samples of each were collected from Port Said markets, Egypt. The samples were examined for total aerobic plate count, total coliform count, E.coli count in addition to detection of salmonella and shigella to evaluate Fish quality and safety. The mean values of TAPC, TC and E.coli in the examined Tilapia fish samples on shore and markets were 6.3 x 102, 7.3x101 and 1.5x101; 6.8x103, 1.4x103and 2.1x101 CFU/g, respectively. While salmonella and shigella not detected in 25 g in both on Shore and Markets fish samples. The mean values of TAPC, TC and E.coli in the examined Mullet fish samples on shore and markets were 5.6 x102, 4.2x101 and 1.3x101; 1.4x103, 5.3x101 and 1.6x101 CFU/g, respectively. While salmonella and shigella not detected in 25 g in both on Shore and markets fish samples. The significant importance for the bacterial profile revealed that the increased contamination % in TAPC, TC and E.coli in Tilapia and Mullet fish samples between on shore and Markets were 10.8%, 19.2% and 1.4%; 2.5%, 1.3% and 1.3%, respectively. |
