Frozen fish exposed to many risks of contamination during long chain of catching, transportation,dressing and freezing from different sources till they reach to consumers which make it harmful orunfit for human consumption.A total of 150 random samples of frozen fish of Mackerel, Saurus, Mugil Cephalus, HorseMackerel and Sardine (30 of each) were collected from different fish markets at KaliobiaGovernorate for determination of Psychrotrophic, Pseudomonas and Aeromonas count in frozenfish samples. The mean value of Psychrotrophic , Pseudomonas and Aeromonas count (cfu/g) were5.11x105 ±2.4x105, 9.92X104 ± 4.8 x 104 and 4.8 x 104 ± 1.17 x 104 in Mackerel, 1.18x105±2.9x104, 1.76 X 105 ± 6.16 x 104 and 4.78 x 104 ± 2.07 x 104 in Saurus, 8.90x104 ±3.4x104, 6.35x104 ± 3.9 x 104 and 9.18 x 102 ± 2.6 x 102 in Mugil Cephalus, 2.67x104 ±1.26x104, 9.35 x 102 ±2.08 x 102 and 7.96 x 102 ± 1.73 x 102 in Horse Mackerel, 3.58x104 ±1.17x104,6.87x 102 ± 1.14 x102 and 6.17x 102 ± 1.35 x 102 in Sardine, respectively. There were observed significantdifference (P<0.05) between examined samples. Moreover ,the result obtained showed thatMackerel is the most contaminated fish with Psychrotrophic and Aeromonas bacteria. However,Saurus is the most contaminated fish with Pseudomonas followed by Mackerel , Mugil Cephalus,Horse Mackerel and finally Sardine. From the obtained results it could be concluded that the mostprevalence Psychrotrophic bacteria isolated from frozen fish samples were Pseudomonas,Aeromonas followed by Achromobacter and these bacteria consider a major factor for the spoilageof fish or be a health hazard.
