Of 629 fresh fish (sixty-five species) and forty-two samples of fish-washings obtained from a fish-market in Colombo, and investigated bacteriologically for the presence of Salmonella, thirty-nine fish (twenty-four species) and five samples of washings were found to be harbouring the organisms.Of fifteen salmonella types found, all except Salm. chittagong and Salm. oranienberg had been previously isolated from human and animal sources in Ceylon.The presence of Salmonella in the intestines of fresh fish examined suggested that the organisms had entered the live fish, whilst their isolation from the gills and fish-washings was evidence that the fish could have been contaminated post-mortem.The significance of these findings in relation to hazard to health is discussed.

Indian fisheries are an important sector of food production, providing nutritional and livelihood security to a vast majority of the population and contributes significantly to the foreign exchange earnings. There is a big demand of fish in north-eastern states of India. Fish market infrastructures include wholesale market, retail market and fish shops. Iewduh, also called Bara Bazaar, is one of the oldest and largest traditional market and trade centre in the northeast. A variety of fish are being sold in Iewduh in Shillong, Meghalaya. Majority of the fishes are sourced from other parts of the country. A total of 30 distinguishable taxa were observed in the market, representing 18 families. There was a predominance of different carp species and a number of catfishes were also available.

Nowadays, the use of formalin as a preservative in fish is often found in society. Besides, the consumption of fresh fish products containing heavy metals will potentially cause various diseases both short and long-term. The aims of this study were to assess the knowledge of society about formalin, detect the presence of formalin, and analyze the heavy metal content of Pb, Cd, and Hg in Yellow striped fish, Tuna and Mackerel fish. The qualitative detection was done using Schiff reagents, while the quantitative detection was done by using the Spectrophotometry based on the reaction of formaldehyde and Nash reagents. The results showed that 50 percent of society did not know about the use of formaldehyde and its characteristics in fish. The Qualitative testing on 9 samples found that 2 samples contained positive formalin, while 7 samples were negative. The quantitative test showed that the highest formalin content was found in Tuna and Mackerel fish with concentration of 3.36 ppm, and 1.26 ppm, respectively. Also, mercury was found as the highest concentration in fish roughly 1 to 1.60 ppm for those samples from three different markets.                                                                                                                                                 Keywords: formalin, heavy metal, fresh fish, market, Kupang city

ABSTRACTPetis is a pasta-like food made of fresh fish/shrimp. Petis is usually produced by IRT innon sanitary way. These conditions allow the pollution/contamination of the petis production, eitherby microorganisms, physical objects, or chemicals. This study aims to determine the quality ofpetis production in Socah, Bangkalan, Madura.This research is a descriptive research. Data were collectetd by observations andlaboratory tests. There were 3 petis industries in Socah, where we took samples.The results showed that the quality of petis in physical aspects were not qualified, thechemical aspects were good, and microbiological aspects of two samples were not eligible. Sanitaryconditions of the production-sites were less than 53.4%, but the domestic industry‟s score were68%.The final conclusion is that petis production in Socah Madura is ineligible, on physical andmicrobiological aspect. Only in chemical aspect they were eligible. It is recomended to the peopleto be careful in buying any petis from Socah, test the smell and texture before used for dressing infood.Keywords : Petis, Physical, Chemical and Microbiological Quality.

Abstract In Vietnam, pond culture of marine finfish including mullet, milkfish and seabass has been developed since the 1960s (Dao, 1996) and significant expansion took place in the early 1990s with the appearance of a live fish market. Groupers (Epinephelus akaara, E. bleekeri, E. coioides, E. fuscoguttatus, E. malabaricus, E. merra and E. sexfasciatus) are currently among the major cultured species. There are approximately 500 ha of coastal pond culture of marine finfish in Vietnam producing more than 1,000 t of products, mainly groupers with a farm gate value of more than VND100 billion (more than US$7 million) in 2003. Khanh Hoa, a province in the south of central Vietnam with an area of 5,258 km2 and a population of approximately 1 million, is one of major localities producing groupers in ponds with a total estimated production of 100 t in 2003. This case study reviews the current status of pond culture of groupers, and identifies major technical, economic and social constraints to further development in Khanh Hoa province as well as elsewhere.

The present study was conducted at Directorate General of Preventing Medicine and PHC, Epidemiology Dept, Ports and Quarantine Health Unit, Port Sudan, endeavors for Microbial evaluation (bacteriological load) of marine Najil fish (Plectropomus pessuliferus). And to determine the occurrence of some contaminated bacteria. 20 samples of Najil fish (P. Pessuliferus) were collected from Port Sudan fish market (in sterile plastic bags) and pre chilled with ice in thermostatic container. All the samples were tested immediately, and instantly froze for four days. Then the studied samples were tested microbiologically and results showed:For fresh fish total bacterial count (TBC) was (5.68×105) CFU/gm, and for frozen samples was (4.38×105) CFU/gm, respectively.The study concluded that, Najil fish (P. Pessuliferus) showed the highest level of contamination between fresh fish. While in frozen fish freeze seem have the higher effect (less number). And the results showed highly significant differences between fresh and frozen fish.The samples were also tested for contaminant bacteria and the result indicated the presence of Staphylococcus and E. coli, while the salmonella and vibrio were absent at each of it.

Out of the twenty-four samples of shrimp and fish muscle used for this study, twelve were collected near a large marine sewer for waste disposal, 3 km off the coast of Fortaleza (Brazil) and used for the isolation of E. coli. Other twelve were collected at the Mucuripe fresh fish market (Fortaleza, Brazil) and used for the isolation of Staphylococcus aureus. Ethanol, water and acetone-diluted extracts of guava and papaya leaf sprouts were tested on the bacteria in order to verify their microbicidal potential. The E. coli strains used in the trials were rated LT positive. The papaya leaf extracts (Carica papaya Linn) showed no microbicidal activity while the guava sprout extracts (Psidium guajava Linn) displayed halos exceeding 13 mm for both species, an effect considered to be inhibitory by the method employed. Guava sprout extracts by 50% diluted ethanol most effectively inhibited E. coli (EPEC), while those in 50% acetone were less effective. It may be concluded that guava sprout extracts constitute a feasible treatment option for diarrhea caused by E. coli or by S. aureus-produced toxins, due to their quick curative action, easy availability in tropical countries and low cost to the consumer.
