Popis: Summary. The iced storage characteristics of three Bolivian freshwater fish species from the Altiplano region were monitored using chemical, microbiological and sensorial methods. Fish studied were: pejerrey (Busilichthys bonariensis) captured in two locations, Lake Poopo and Lake Angostura; trout (Sulmo gairdneri) from Lake Titi-caca and carp (Cyprinus carpio) from Lake Angostura. The proximate composition and physical nature of these fish are presented. The shelf lives of these species, as deter-mined by both sensory and microbiological evaluations, were found to be: pejerrey from Lake Poopo: 20–21 days, pejerrey from Lake Angostura: 15-19 days, carp from Lake Angostura 17–20 days and trout from Lake Titicaca: 15–18 days. The value of the various methods used to monitor quality changes are discussed.
