| Abstract: | Abstract. Vibriosis is a significant problem in rainbow trout, Salmo gairdneri Richardson, culture in fresh water in north-eastern Italy. Furunculosis is the main cause of disease in brown trout, Salmo trutta L., and brook trout, Salvelinus fontinalis (Mitchill). Spontaneous outbreaks over the period 1975–1978 are described together with relevant husbandry and environmental parameters associated with them. Biological, chemical and physiological characteristics of 40 bacterial strains isolated from outbreaks are described. |
