Three strins of nonmotile aeromonads were isolated in May, 1970 from lesions of 3 diseased specimens of Onchorhynchus rhodurus macrostomas(“Amago” In Japanese) which showed typical symptoms of furunculosis. Other 4 stpains were obtained in August, 1970 from lesions of 4 specimens of O. nerka adonis(“Himemasu”) showing furunculosis-like symptoms. These material fishes were all collected from ponds of the Shizuoka prefectural hatchery and trout laboratory at Fujinomiya in Shizuoka Prefecture.
The strains were identified asAeromonas salmonicida, as their biological and biochemical characteristics were almost the same and closely resembled those of the strains ofA. salmonicida reported by EDDY in 1960.
