Investigation of The Microbiological Quality of Sea Breeding (Sparus aurata) and Sea Bass (Dicentrarchus labrax) Fishes in Afyonkarahisar Province

The aim of this study is to determine the microbiological quality levels of fish (Sparus aurata and Dicentrarchus labrax) sold in fishermen in Afyonkarahisar. In this study, 82 fish samples randomly selected and purchased from 14 different retail points were microbiologically analyzed. According to this; the microorganism ranges isolated from 43 Sparus aurata and 39 Dicentrarchus labrax were; 5.0-7.88/4.90-7.34 log10 mL-1 TVBC; 3.30-7.17/ 3.90-7.54 log10 mL-1 psychrophilic microorganism; 1.30-5.89/ 1.30-4.53 log10 mL-1 staphylococcus / micrococcus, only in Sparus aurata 2.30-4.14 log10 mL-1S. aureus; 1.30-6.49/1.30-6.11 log10 m-1 lactic acid bacteria (LAB); 1.30-6.55/ 1.30-7.14 log10 mL-1 enterobacteria, 1.30-6.62/1.30-6.60 log10 mL-1 total coliform and 1.30-4.30/1.30-4.47 log10 mL-1 levels E. coli and 1.2% of the samples (from Sparus aurata) Salmonella spp., were identified respectively
