salema ( <i>Sarpa salpa </i>) individuals from
a public aquarium were investigated to identify the cause of disease. A minor
scale loss and partial skin depigmentation were observed in the diseased fish. Internal
investigation of fish revealed hyperemia
in the liver and the intestines and haemorrhages in the muscle tissues. When the histopathological sections of
tissues were examined, it was determined that the bacterial infection affected especially
the gill epithelium, the intestinal mucosa, the heart muscle and hemopoietic
tissues of the spleen. According to phenotypic and biochemical characteristics
as well as SSU rRNA sequencing results, the isolated bacteria was <i>Vibrio harveyi </i> and consistently seen all
the examined samples of visceral organs including kidney, spleen, liver and
blood. However, we need to emphasize that <i>Vibrio
vulnificus </i> and <i>Pseudoalteromonas
piscicida </i> bacteria were also isolated from blood and spleen tissues of one
sick fish among others. </span> </p> <p> </p>}, number={3}, publisher={Isparta University of Applied Sciences}
