Abstract
The susceptibility of freshwater and marine fish to infection by Flexibacter columnaris and Flexibacter maritimus was assessed in laboratory based experiments. Flexibactor columnaris produced a more severe disease in barramundi compared to goldfish. Both species suffered greater mortality at 25°C than at 20°C. Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) and rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) had similar levels of susceptibility to F. maritimus infection in seawater with approximate LC50 values of 2.3 × 105 and 1.6 × 106 CFU mL-1 respectively. However, at salinity of 15‰ greenback flounder (Rhombosolea tapirina) were more resistant to F. maritimus than Atlantic salmon.
