In general, the protocol includes a nonselective pre-enrichment step, followed by enrichment in selective medium and a subsequent plating on selective agar plates. Detection of suspicious strains requires further isolation and confirmation by biochemical and serological tests [75]. Quantitative microbial techniques also have the advantage of being adaptable to meet the specific needs of each sample, as well as requirements of target microorganisms [76]. As an example, the use of culture media of different composition and the incubation at various temperatures was the strategy used by Uddin et al.
These rapid techniques may also assist in monitoring and quantifying bacteria that produce metabolites responsible for off-flavors and cause sensory rejection of fish and fishbased products. Off-flavours are the main indicators used by consumers to evaluate fish freshness [92]. Compounds that produce such characteristic odors, for example trimethylamine (TMA), various nitrogen and sulfur compounds, aldehydes, ketones and esters are produced by a variety of microorganisms during the process of deterioration of fish [93, 94].
