Abstract
An attempt has been made in the present study to estimate and describe in detail the nature and extent of contamination of processed fishery products. In large scale prawn processing when the preprocess preparation is elaborate, the industry in India has found it advantageous to establish the primary processing centres away from the processing factories . The data collected have clearly indicated that if such processing centres are not properly organised there is a possibility of greater contamination of the products at this stage .The data collected during the course of this investigation have given the basis for the measures to be taken for the maintenance of bacterial quality of prawn during different stages of processing
