Wet-salted Mugil cephalus is occasionally found on shelf. The present study prepared wet-salted M. cephalus, Chanos chanos and Gerres oyena at three salt ratios 15%, 20% and 25%. Preparation covered summer and winter season. Ten bacterial species Microccoccus sp. I, Microccoccus sp. II, Microccoccus sp. III and Microccoccus sp. IV; Staphylococcus sp.; Aerococcus sp.; Microccoccus kristainae, Microccoccus varians, Staphylococcus kloosii and Stomatococcus micococcus. In summer samples of M. cephalus, C. chanos and G. oyena at all brine concentrations and storage durations Microccoccus sp. I, Microccoccus sp. II, Microccoccus sp. III, Microccoccus sp. I, Staphylococcus sp., and Aerococcus sp. were found. In winter samples M. kristainae was found. The frequency of occurrence of M. varians, S. kloosii and S. micococcus followed no consistent pattern. With respect to fresh samples in winter M. kristainae was found in M. cephalus and in G. oyena; and S. kloosii in C. chanos.
