Abstract
For raw, iced and frozen samples of fish and prawn, significant difference was observed
in total plate counts done with various diluents, the significance level ranging from 5% to 0.1% . For raw fish, N-saline, seawater and quarter strength Ringers' solution gave maximum total plate counts . In the case of iced-fish, n-saline yielded highest total plate counts . For frozen samples, however, peptone water and n-saline gave good recoveries . Trials with suitable ecombinations of diluents showed that though some of them were as good as the control, namely n-saline, none were superior in any way .
