The examination contains the assurance of total viable aerobic count (TVAC)by the standard plate count method estimated under 5×105 colony forming unit /g, E. coli count was found below 5MPN/g, yeast and moldcount were found under 1000 colony forming unit /g, all analyzed seafood test results wereobserved under the average permissible limit.
