Abstract:
The aim of this study to assess the quality of five types of local, most heavily
traded and widespread in Sulaimani, fresh fish including Grass carp (Ctenopharyngodon
idella), Silver carp (Hypophthalmichthys molitrix), Common carp (Cyprinus carpio), Bizz
(Barbus esocinus) and Shabbout (Barbas grypus), for the period from 1st February 2010
to 1st October 2010. Analyses were achieved on a sample of twelve fishes for each type;
their weight ranged 2-3Kg. different standard inspection tests were applied.
Microbiology evaluation: total plate count (TPC), Psychrophilic bacterial count and
Psychrotrophic counts were within the acceptable limits for all types (TPC valued 8.37
For Bizz to 25.80×105 Cfu/g for Silver carp, Psychrophils valued 6.83 for Bizz to 63.91
×105 Cfu/g for silver carp and Psychrotrophs valued 7.7 for Bizz to 20.70×105 Cfu/g for
Silver carp) but they varied in count. Wild inhabitant showed significantly better
microbiology evaluation results than farmed among farmable types. Bizz and Shabbout
have been sold from licensed markets had better significantly than those unlicensed
markets. Pseudomonas spp. was detected in all five types in a range of 45.75 for
Shabbout to 59.16 ×102 Cfu/g for silver carp with insignificant differences. Randomly
selected Pseudomonas colonies revealed isolation of P.aeruginosa and P.putida.
Key word: local fresh fish; microbiology; quality; Sulaimani.
