The quality of common sole decreased on day 16 (fair quality- B) and they were no longer acceptable on day 20 (unacceptable quality-C). When common sole were considered as fair quality (B) by assessors on ~16-18 days, the average K value was ≥ 80%. Among the investigated biogenic amines, histamine, was not detected. No major change in the protein profiles of common sole was observed. Sensory, microbial and biochemical results revealed that the shelf life of common sole was approximately ~16-18 days. Among the chemical parameters, the most consistent indicator to measure the change in freshness was K value that showed linear response with storage time.}, number={2}, publisher={Trabzon Su Ürünleri Merkez Araştırma Enstitüsü}
