    Sharon,

    Recommended microbiological limits for fish and fishery products from the
    International Commission on Microbiological Specifications for Foods
    (ICMFS) are featured in "Ch. 9: Aerobic Plate Count" of the Compendium of
    Fish and Fishery Product Processes, Hazards, and Control
    (http://seafood.ucdavis.edu/haccp/compendium/compend.htm)
