BACKGROUND: Microbial analyses performed in connection with the post-slaughter environment of farmed Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar L.) have mostly focused on specific bacteria that may have negative effects on the health of consumers. However, bacteria may also affect other quality variables. The obj...
