The results of this study indicate that there is a relationship between the hygiene and sanitation of pindang fish traders with the number of bacteria in pindang fish in the Anom market, Kolor village, Sumenep district as a source of learning biology. The results of the calculation on the coefficient of determination of 65.61%, this can be interpreted that as much as 65.61% of the number of bacteria in pindang fish is influenced by the sanitary hygiene of pindang fish traders, while as much as 34.39% is influenced by other factors, such as the environmental conditions of the market where traders selling pindang fish that are not clean and dirty so that it allows pindang fish to be polluted, the presence of disease-carrying insects around the pendang fish being sold.
