Predicted log10 increases of Aeromonas hydrophila on the surface of fish in the ‘abusive’ scenario for fat medium fish, located in different spots inside tubs during the ‘cooling‐keeping’ process (CFM; #4c), assuming different initial physiological states (and thus, potential lag time) of cells at the beginning of simulations
| Assumption of lag | Time (days) | TUB Bottom – centre | TUB Bottom – corner | TUB Maxa |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| No lag (a 0 = 1) | 2 | 0.99 | 0.90 | 1.19 |
| 3 | 1.00 | 0.97 | 1.34 | |
| 5 | 1.00 | 1.01 | 1.47 | |
| Lag defined by a 0 = 0.75 | 2 | 0.832 | 0.757 | 1.020 |
| 3 | 0.845 | 0.814 | 1.157 | |
| 5 | 0.846 | 0.854 | 1.276 | |
| Lag defined by a 0 = 0.25 | 2 | 0.368 | 0.328 | 0.476 |
| 3 | 0.374 | 0.358 | 0.559 | |
| 5 | 0.375 | 0.380 | 0.635 |
a0 is the percentage of cells growing without lag. This value may range from 0 (= no growth) to 1 (= no lag).
a
Based on the maximum temperature obtained for each time within the whole food/water matrix.
