Study on the Microbiological Hazards Present in Shrimp and Shrimp Culture Water for the Improvement of Sea Food Quality of Khulna Region, Bangladesh

Abstract

Sea food quality and salty is mostly dependent on the microbiological parameters present in the shrimps. Microorganisms can reduce the quality of foods in various ways. They can change the food organoleptic ally so as to defer the potential consumer or they can make it capable of causing disease. There is no doubt that food related disease is extremely important the people are much more aware about the food borne disease, such as in UK in one year as much as 10% of population will suffer from a food- related disease and some death will result, usually amongst the most valuable the young throughout the world. In developed countries and the infirm. However. it is known that throughout the world in one year millions of young children die as a result of diarrheas much of which has been caused by organisms contracted from water or food. Shrimps are used as one of the most important chose able and delicious food item in the global market. To improve the quality, to fulfill the requirements of the consumer. to earn more foreign currency and to develop our socio-economic condition. The study has been taken. Shrimps (Penancus Monodon) and shrimps culture water were collected from different locations of Bagerhat, Satkhira and Khulna to perform microbiological analysis. It has been shown from the investigation that Standard Plate Count (SPC) was found within standard limit at Koyra (pond nos.l,2) Dumuria (pond nos.4.6), Paikgacha (pond nos.7,9), Rampal (pond nos. 1.3), Mongla (pond nos.4,6), Bagerhat city area (pond nos.8,9), Shamnagor (pond nos.1.2.3), Ashasuni (pond no.5) and Satkhira city area (pond no.8) of Khulna region for shrimps. It has also been shown for shrimps that Total Coliform (T.Coli) was within standard value at Koyra (pond nos.1.3), Dumuria (pond nos.5,6), Paikgacha (pond nos.7,8), Mongla (pond nos.4.5.6). Bagerhat city area (pond nos.7,8,9), Shamnagor (pond nos.2,3), ) and Satkhira city area (pond nos.7,8,9). The Faccal Coliforni (F.Coli) was found within standard value at Koyra (pond no.1), Dumuria (pond nos.5,6), Mongla (pond Ashasuni (pond no os.4.6). Bagerhat city area (pond nos.7.9), Shamnagor (pond no.2), Ashasuni (pond no.5) and Satkhira city area (pond no.8). Salmonella were found at Dumuria (pond no.4), Paikgacha (pond no.7). Rampal (pond nos.l,2), Mongla (pond no.6), Bagerhat city area (pond no.9) and Ashasuili (pond no.4) but Vihrio Cholerac were not found anywhere. It was found that Standard Plate Count (Slk') and Faccal Colitbrm (F,Coli) for shrimp culture water were found above the standard value in all the area. The Total Coliform (T.Coli) were found within standard value at Koyra (pond nos.1,3), Dumuria (pond nos.4,5,6), Rampal (pond no.3),Bagerhat city area (pond no.8) and Ashasuni (pond nos.4.5,6). Salmonella was found at Rampal (pond no.1) but Vibrio Cholerac in shrimp culture water Mongla (pond nos.4,5,6), were not found in any pond.
