Use of screened fish retail table to improve the hygiene of fish sold in local markets
Screened retail table was designed to improve the hygiene of fish sold in our local markets. Investigation was carried out on the microbiological population on Tilapia fish. Overall value obtained from plate counts show that fish were more infested outside the table. The sensory values are 4, 13, and 6 for on-sport open table and screened respectively, also microbial load range between 7x10-5 to 88 x 10-5 cfu/g for open table where 3x 10-10 - 33 x 10-10 for screened table. This shows that fresh fish on open retail table in our markets were prone to deterioration.
