LCQ Fleet with ion trap mass analyzer coupled with Surveyorplus pump and Surveyorplus degassor of Thermoscientific was used for histamine determination in present study. The histamine detected in different nine (9) samples from different markets was within safe limits. The fishes were also examined for appearance, texture, odour and presence of black spots.
