You could look at environmental hygiene in terms of surface cleanliness and sanitation- which will have some impact on your airborne micro. Beyond that, I've heard of people using air filters with UV lights to bring airborne into check. Another option would be to fog the area with sanitiser after a deep clean, but that normally comes with health and safety risks.

We have also found huge differences between before and after cleaning our air-socks and air/cooling systems. Dirt can get trapped in your filters and thus be blown out of the system.
When was the last time your air system and filters were cleaned? Were they cleaned properly?

- We are engaged in frozen shrimp production.
- we do air microbiological testing, by doing air swabs, we put agar media (PCA) in the room to be tested for air quality for 4 hours. after that it was incubated for 48 hours, after that the analysis was carried out.
- the results we get, the TPC value exceeds the specified limit

How often does your facility gets thawed down and fully cleaned? It might be that cleaning is not as effective when the temperatures are too low.
I am pretty sure that this issue can be resolved with proper cleaning.
