Popis: The study determined the progression of spoilage in response to temperature and also ascertained the wholesomeness of fish offered for sale at different times of the day from selected markets in Ibadan. Fresh and frozen fish were bought from Sango and Bodija markets in Ibadan,the temperature was recorded and the samples were transported in a Coleman cooler to the laboratory for further analysis. Upon arrival, the temperature was again recorded and samples were exposed to different environmental temperatures; assessment for spoilage was conductedon the fish samples at 3 hourly intervals thereafter. Assessment was based on physical appearance of fish and enzyme analysis through measurement of changes in trimethylamine (TMA) concentration in fish muscles using picrate method. Chemical analysis showed progressive rise in TMA during storage. TMA values revealed no statistically significant (p=0.99) difference at p
