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.
