This paper describes the first comprehensive study of the quality of commercial fish feeds in India with regard to microbiological indices. Quality of feed is an important parameter that has a direct impact on the outcome of any aquaculture system. Microbiological parameters such as total plate count (TPC), Escherichia coli (CFUg-1 ), coliformes (CFUg-1 ), Enterobacteriaceae (CFUg-1 ) and yeast and mould (CFUg-1 ) counts were analysed using 3M™ Petrifilm™ as per guidelines. | Evaluation of the quality of commercial fish feeds in India with respect to microbiological parameters
