Abstract
Bacteria isolated from raw (untreated and unprocessed) prawn (Penaeus indicus)
stored at 28±2°C, 4°C and-18°C were tested for spoilage potential, namely, production
of protease, lipase, amylase, reduction of trimethylamineoxide (TMAO) to trimethylamine
(TMA), production of off odours from flesh broth and halo zone around the colony
grown on flesh agar. About 63 % of the total isolates tested were potential spoilers.
Members of Vibrio, Pseudomonas and Acinetobacter were found to be dominant potential
spoilers at all temperatures
