Abstract

Marine mucilage disasters, primarily caused by global warming and marine pollution, threaten food security and the sustainability of marine food resources. This study assessed the microbial risks to public health in common sole, deep-water rose shrimp, European anchovy, Atlantic horse mackerel and Mediterranean mussel following the mucilage disaster in the Sea of Marmara in 2021. The total viable count, total Enterobacteriaceae count and the presence of Escherichia coli O157:H7, Salmonella spp., Listeria monocytogenes, Vibrio parahaemolyticus, Vibrio cholerae, Aeromonas hydrophila, Clostridium perfringens and Bacillus cereus were studied during the 2021-2022 fishing season. In September, the first month of the catching season, pathogens in all seafood were markedly higher compared to the entire season: E. coli O157:H7: 86%, Salmonella spp.: 30%, L. monocytogenes: 21%, V. parahaemolyticus: 53% and A. hydrophila: 100%. The main factors for the high prevalence of pathogens in September are elevated seawater temperature and the fact that it is the first month following the mucilage disaster. Following natural disasters such as mucilage, evisceration of seafood, washing with clean water, depuration of shellfish and ensuring adequate cooking time and temperature are essential for food safety and public health.

期刊介绍： The journal is identical in scope to Environmental Microbiology, shares the same editorial team and submission site, and will apply the same high level acceptance criteria. The two journals will be mutually supportive and evolve side-by-side. Environmental Microbiology Reports provides a high profile vehicle for publication of the most innovative, original and rigorous research in the field. The scope of the Journal encompasses the diversity of current research on microbial processes in the environment, microbial communities, interactions and evolution and includes, but is not limited to, the following: the structure, activities and communal behaviour of microbial communities microbial community genetics and evolutionary processes microbial symbioses, microbial interactions and interactions with plants, animals and abiotic factors microbes in the tree of life, microbial diversification and evolution population biology and clonal structure microbial metabolic and structural diversity microbial physiology, growth and survival microbes and surfaces, adhesion and biofouling responses to environmental signals and stress factors modelling and theory development pollution microbiology extremophiles and life in extreme and unusual little-explored habitats element cycles and biogeochemical processes, primary and secondary production microbes in a changing world, microbially-influenced global changes evolution and diversity of archaeal and bacterial viruses new technological developments in microbial ecology and evolution, in particular for the study of activities of microbial communities, non-culturable microorganisms and emerging pathogens.
