dc.description.abstractAssessment of quality of fish and shrimps landed at the Fish Harbour, Cochin was made over the period January, 1980 to December, 1982 . A total of 201 samples were analysed . Nearly 75% of the samples scored between 6-10 in a 10 point hedonic scale and the percentage unacceptability based on sensory assessment was 5.5% . In 10 .1 of the samples, total volatile nitrogen was >30 mg% and in 8 .3% of the samples trimethylamine- nitrogen was > 10 mg% . Both, the gr Torrymeter and Intellectron Fish Tester VI readings marked significant correlation with sensory scores and chemical indices; but failed to bear any significant correlation with bacterial counts . Of the total samples 66.7% had total plate count (TPC) >10 5 9 l and 8.5% were considered unacceptable based on TPC >5 x 10 5g- 1 ; 63.2% of the samples were free from Escherichia coli ; 26.4% had >20 E. coil g -1 and 20 .4% of the samples contained faecal streptococci >103 g-1 . Seven percent of the samples showed coagulase positive staphylococci >100g - 1 . Salmonella could not be detected in any of the samples examined. Crushed ice samples and the platform of the harbour had high bacterial loads .en_US
