Abstract
The sanitary survey was evaluated for sanitary state of seawater and shellfish in Chilcheondo area from
September 2020 to February 2023. The stations of sanitary survey in Chilcheondo area were composed of 28
seawater station, 3 oyster (Crassostrea gigas) and 1 mussel (Mytilus galloprovinciallis). The samples were
collected monthly at each station. The range of Fecal coliform, geometric mean and 90th percentile for 840
seawater samples were < 1.8-35,000 MPN/100 mL, < 1.8-3.3 and 1.8-34 MPN/100 mL, respectively and in
addition to seawater in the Chilcheondo area satisfied as level of designated area according to Korea criteria and
approved area according to US criteria. Also the range of Fecal coliform and E. coli for 88 oyster samples and 30
mussel samples were <18-35,000 and <18-9,200 MPN/100 g, respectively. The bacteriological quallity of shellfish
collected from Chilcheondo area meets the standard value based on shellfish hygiene of the Food Sanitation Act
of Korea and the Grade B according to the classification of shellfish harvesting areas of European Union.
