Abstract

Over the past years, with the growing population, increasing affluence, and the recognition that fish was actually the healthier source of animal protein. The application of antimicrobial agents in fish farming has been increasingly used to prevent the overgrowth of herbal plants and fish diseases with addition to promoting the rapid growth of the fish. However, improper usage and failure to comply with dosage and withdrawal period of antimicrobial drugs in aquaculture could cause undesirable deposition of drugs in edible tissues of fish muscle. The primary concern regarding the usage of antimicrobial was the antimicrobial residues and the emergence of antimicrobial resistance in bacteria that may be passes to consumers and cause significant health risk to public. This present study was conducted to investigate the presence of antimicrobial residues in Asian sea bass (Lates calcarifer) from local markets in Selangor. A total of 30 Asian sea bass were sample from 10 local markets which comprised of three samples from each market. All of the samples were analysed using microbiological inhibition test using Eschericia coli ATCC 25922 and Salmonella spp ATCC 14028 as test bacteria. The result revealed no antibiotic residues in any of the samples tested in this present study. It was suggested that Asian sea bass meat from local markets in Selangor has no antibiotic residues and considered safe for the consumption of public.
