Abstract:

In order to investigate the changing trend of microorganisms in shellfish, total number of bacteria and coliform in 3 species of shellfish such as Ruditapes philippinarum, Chlamys farreri and Solen gouldii Conrada stored at -18, 4, 15 ℃ and 22 ℃ for different periods were determined. Results indicated that an obvious decrease in total number of bacteria in shellfish stored at -18℃ for more than 24 h was observed; in contrast, no obvious change in shellfish stored at other temperature conditions for 12 h or at 4 ℃ for 24 h was observed. Moreover, a positive correlation between total number of bacteria and coliform group in shellfish stored at 22 ℃ was also observed. Taken together, the original status of microorganisms present in shellfish can be remained for a longer period of time at the environmental condition of 0 ℃.

Key words: shellfish, total number of bacteria, coliform, temperature, time
