Then the dynamic of microorganisms population in Mediterranean Sea Bass packaged in MAP or under vacuum and kept at 3°C or stored on ice was also studied. The results demonstrated the high quality of fishes sold in supermarkets and that MAP and under vacuum technology can increase the shelf-life of fish.
