Objectives

1. To identify key reservoir sites for L monocytogenes at processing plants and determine environmental and other factors which are likely to permit multiplication of these organisms on the fish and/or in the processing plant
2. To assess the efficiency of currently recommended hygiene and decontamination procedures
3. To determine prevalences of the parasite in fish of different ages and kept in different geographic sites
4. To correlate any observed variations in prevalence with factors such as age of fish, presence of possible intermediate hosts in the environment, etc
