Which genera predominate among the specific spoilage organisms of fish?

  • A.Saccharomyces, Candida and Aspergillus
  • B.Pseudomonas, Shewanella and Aeromonas
  • C.Lactobacillus, Streptococcus and Bacillus
  • D.Salmonella, Shigella and Escherichia

Answer: B

Correct answer: Pseudomonas, Shewanella and Aeromonas

These are Gram-negative, psychrotrophic and aerobic, which is precisely the combination suited to chilled fish stored in air. They grow well at ice temperature and produce the volatile compounds responsible for the characteristic off odours, so they set the shelf life of iced fish.
