Table 4.
Mean quantitation cycle (Cq) values (calculated from three technical replicates) for Photobacterium spp., Shewanella spp., and Pseudomonas spp. determined for each of the three independent samples (biological replicates) analyzed at the time of spoilage of hake fillets stored under MAP at the three studied temperatures. Data correspond to samples of batch A. The table also includes the standard deviation of the means.
