This study aimed to evaluate the fate of in water microcosm and rainbow trout fillet under salinity stress of 0% and 30% NaCl at refrigerator temperature (4 ± 2 ℃). Bacterial culturability was studied by standard culture and colony count method. Reverse transcription-PCR (RT-PCR) of gene was used to detect viability of non-culturable bacteria.
