Experimental Induction of Tenacibaculosis in Atlantic Salmon ( L.) Using , , and .

There is a limited understanding of the pathogenesis of tenacibaculosis in Atlantic salmon ( L.) and there are few reproducible exposure models for comparison. Atlantic salmon were exposed via bath to , , or and were then grouped with naïve cohabitants.

Application of Quantitative-PCR to Monitor Netpen Sites in British Columbia (Canada) for Species.

are frequently detected from fish with tenacibaculosis at aquaculture sites; however, information on the ecology of these bacteria is sparse. Quantitative-PCR assays were used to detect and at commercial Atlantic salmon () netpen sites throughout several tenacibaculosis outbreaks. and were identified in live fish, dead fish, other organisms associated with netpens, water samples and on inanimate substrates, which indicates a ubiquitous distribution around stocked netpen sites.

Advancements in Characterizing Infections in Canada.

is a genus of gram negative, marine, filamentous bacteria, associated with the presence of disease (tenacibaculosis) at aquaculture sites worldwide; however, infections induced by this genus are poorly characterized. Documents regarding the genus and close relatives were compiled for a literature review, concentrating on ecology, identification, and impacts of potentially pathogenic species, with a focus on Atlantic salmon in Canada. species likely have a cosmopolitan distribution, but local distributions around aquaculture sites are unknown.
