(Eds.), Fish Diseases and Disorders: Viral, Bacterial and Fungal Infections. CAB International, New York, pp. 577–598. It was first isolated from Japanese eels (Anguilla japonica). Based on 16S rRNA analysis, P. anguilliseptica has been placed in the P. aeruginosa group.
This species is a notable pathogen of several fish species, including turbot (Scophthalmus maximus) and seabream (Sparus aurata). The average mortality rate is 10-15%, although it has reached as high as 30% in some farms.
