Summary Forty‐nine samples of freshly landed Nephrops norvegicus , from thirteen ports of landing, were examined bacteriologically. Total viable counts ranged from 3.55 × 10 3 /g—2.25 × 10 6 /g at 20°C and 3 × 10 1 /g—2.73 × 10 6 /g at 37°C. Coryneform organisms were predominant in the bacterial flora with strains of the Achromobacter‐Acinetobacter group and the Pseudomonas, Cytophaga and Micrococcus genera also present.
