Abstract

Fish meal is obtained by processing and drying fish that are not suitable for human consumption or waste left over from the fishing industry. Fish meal creates a suitable breeding environment for microorganisms due to both the high level of nutrients they contain and the processes applied during production. Aerobic Colony Count (Cob g-1) of fish meal obtained from four different factories (A, B, C and D) producing fish meal in the Black Sea region were determined as 4.9x105, 9.7x104, 2.76x105 and 9.8x102, respectively.  Enterobacteria Colony Count (Cfu g-1) and Coliform Bacteria Count E. coli (Cob g-1) levels were similarly found to be <10. Both Listeria monocytogenes and Salmonella spp. wasn’t detected in fish meals. While Rhizopus spp. and Trichoderma spp. fungi were detected in fish meal obtained from only one factory.  Fusarium spp. and Penicillium spp. fungi were detected in all fish meals. Total Organism Numbers vary between 7x103 and 5x104 Colonies/ml. According to macroscopic and microscopic examinations, no material that should not be included in feed for animal nutrition, especially mold, was found in fish meal. As a result, it is seen that the fish meal produced in the Black Sea Region of Turkey is of extremely high quality in terms of microbiological and macroscopik and is also suitable for animal nutrition. Therefore, in this study was pointed out to the microbiological content and quality of fish meal in the Black Sea Region, where a significant portion of fish meal is produced in our country.
