Existing Data

Clostridium botulinum type E proliferates in dead aquatic animals and sediments and it is distributed by water currents and infected fish. Botulism is a disease with great significance for both aquacultured fish and humans. The existing data about the subject are very few, and the aim of the present paper is to warn fish farmers and pathologists about the possibility of outbreaks in Greece.

Average Water

The effect of salt level and nitrite on botulinal safety of smoked whitefish was investigated. An average water-phase (wp) salt concentration of 4.4% inhibited outgrowth of Clostridium botulinum type E spores (103 spores/g) for over 35 d in temperature-abused (27°C) smoked whitefish. Incorporation of nitrite (220 mg/kg) during brining to the smoked salted (4.4%, wp) whitefish inhibited toxin production for 56 d at 27°C. An average salt concentration of 6.2% (wp), with or without nitrite, totally inhibited toxin production for the duration of the study (83 d). The effect of pH and water activity in temperature-abused smoked whitefish as a means of controlling toxin production by C. botulinum type E spores was evaluated.
