Abstract

The purpose of this study was to monitor and compare the contamination levels of heterotrophic bacteria and pathogenic bacteria (total coliforms, Escherichia coli O157:H7, Salmonella spp., Vibrio parachaemolyticus, Staphylococcus aureus and Bacillus cereus). The samples collected at fish farms located in the Jeju-island were investigated from March to August in 2006. The contamination levels of S. aureus, B. cereus and Salmonella spp. ranged $0-3.3{\times}10^2 CFU/ml,\;0-2.2{\times}10^2 CFU/ml\;and\;0-5.1{\times}10^1CFU/ml$, respectively, and 85% of moist pellet feeds were contaminated with S. aureus, B. cereus and total coliforms. But total coliforms and E. coli O157:H7 were not detected in oliver flounder (Paralichthys olivaceus). For the production of safe oliver flounder (Paralichthys olivaceus), education of sanitation for employees, control of fish feed, and continuous monitoring for microorganism will be required.

본 연구는 2006년 3월부터 8월까지 제주도에서 성업 중인 육상 수조식 양식장 21개소를 대상으로 하여 미생물학적 위해요소를 양어 용수, 양어 사료, 양식 넙치에서 조사하였다. 식품 병원성 미생물 중 일반세균과 총 대장균군, 그리고 Salmonella spp., Escherichia coli O157:H7, Staphylococcus aureus, Bacillus cereus, Vibrio parahaemolyticus를 조사하였다. 이번 연구를 진행하는 동안 특이할만한 점은 여름에 들어서면서 집중적이면서도 빈번하게 비가 내렸다. 양어용수를 검사한 결과 S. aureus, B. cereus and Salmonella spp.는 각각 $0-3.3{\times}10^2 CFU/ml,\;0-2.2{\times}10^2CFU/ml\;and\;0-5.1{\times}10^1 CFU/ml$ 검출이 되었다. 또한 사료 내 미생물을 조사하여 본 결과 조사한 MP사료 85%에서 S. aureus, B. cereus and total coliforms이 검출이 되었다 반면 양식 넙치를 조사한 결과 Escherichia coli O157:H7, total coliforms은 검출이 되지 않았다. 추후 이와 관련하여 좀더 체계적인 연구 시스템을 양식현장에 적용한다면 근래 들어 문제가 되고 있는 식품위생상 수산물이 야기하는 문제점들이 해결이 되어 안전한 식품으로서의 가치를 인정받을 수 있을 것 같다.
