Collected sampels were examined organoleptically and subjected to bacteriological examination for enumeration of Aerobic, enterobacteriaceae, Staph. aureus, enterococci counts as well as isolation and identification of Vibrio parahaemolyticus.The mean counts/gm of Aerobes, Enterobacteriaceae, Staph. aureus, Strept. faecalis and Strept. faecum were 4.9 x 155, 4.8 x 104,1.9x105, 1.5 x 105, and 8 x 102, respectively. V. parahaemolyticus could be isolated from all examined samples. The weight, pH and sodium chloride percent of ten sampels were estimated and the inhibitory Om El-Kholoul (Wedge shell-Donax trunculus) is effect of lemon juice (Citrus aurantifolia) onthe microbial load of such samples was noticed.
