Notes:
Using standard procedures, aerobic plate counts (APC), total and fecal coliform most probable number (MPN) determinations, and analyses for Salmonella, Arizona, Shigella and Edwardsiella tarda were performed on 335 fresh and 342 frozen sample units of channel catfish. APC values for 93.0% of the fresh and 94.5% of the frozen samples were 〈inlineGraphic alt="leqslant R: less-than-or-eq, slant" extraInfo="nonStandardEntity" href="urn:x-wiley:00221147:JFDS359:les" location="les.gif"/〉107 organisms per g. Fecal coliform MPN values for 70.7% of the fresh and 92.4% of the frozen samples were 〈inlineGraphic alt="leqslant R: less-than-or-eq, slant" extraInfo="nonStandardEntity" href="urn:x-wiley:00221147:JFDS359:les" location="les.gif"/〉400 organisms per g. The occurrence of Salmonella in channel catfish was subject to seasonal variation. Salmonella-positive samples yielded 15 serotypes from 8 somatic groups. Edwardsiella tarda was isolated from two samples; Arizona and Shigella were not detected.
