Effect of packaging atmosphere (air and under different modified atmospheres (MAs), 40% CO2/60% O2, 50%/50% O2, 60% CO2/40% O2, 70% CO2/30% O2 and 40% CO2/30% O2/30% N2) on the microbial and biochemical attributes of fresh pearlspot (Etroplus suratensis Bloch) stored at 0–2 °C was investigated. Trimethylamine nitrogen (TMA-N) and thiobarbituric acid (TBA) values remained lower than the proposed acceptability limits throughout the storage period. Results demonstrated that storage of pearlspot under air and MA 40% CO2/30% O2/30% N2 resulted in growth of Enterobacteriaceae, Aeromonas and H2S-producing bacteria including Shewanella putrefaciens, while all other packaging atmospheres did not allow multiplication of Enterobacteriaceae and Aeromonas within 3 weeks. Aeromonas spp. identified were Aeromonas hydrophila, Aeromonas veronii biovar sobria and A. veronii biovar veronii. Significant reduction (p<0.01) was noticed in Aeromonas population of pearlspot stored under MA 60% CO2/40% O2 and 70% CO2/30% O2. A delay of growth of Pseudomonas below 5.0 log10 cfu g−1 was observed during the 15th day of storage at 0–2 °C under modified atmosphere packaging (MAP) conditions. Growth of faecal streptococci was significantly inhibited in all the packaging atmospheres at 0–2 °C during the entire storage period. Survival of coagulase positive Staphylococci (<50 cfu g−1) in low numbers was noticed during storage in all the packaging atmospheres. Clostridium botulinum toxin was not detected. All the packaging atmospheres did not allow multiplication of sulphite-reducing clostridia at 0–2 °C during the entire storage period. Packaging in MA 60% CO2/40% O2 resulted in the inhibition of growth of Aeromonas and Enterobacteriaceae, and the slowest growth of psychrotrophic bacteria, H2S-producing bacteria, including Shewanella putrefaciens and Pseudomonas and extended microbiological shelf life to 9–10 days. This study confirms the survival of potentially pathogenic A. hydrophila, A. veronii biovar sobria and A. veronii biovar veronii capable of growth at low temperature in pearlspot stored under MA.
