The quality of lean fish was assessed simply and rapidly with Limulus amoebocyte lysate. The endotoxin levels agreed with aerobic plate counts and chemical indices of spoilage. Correlation between level of endotoxin and level of total volatile bases was found to be highly significant (r = 0.8579; P less than 0.001).
