Facultative anaerobe. Hemolysis on horse blood agar.
Found in water, marine fish and shellfish. Sensible to O/129 vibriostatic agent (10 & 150 µg).
Is the causative agent of epizootic disease in marine fish and shellfish, producing the terminal hemorrhagic and septicemia in eels,
ayu, rainbow trout, salmonids.
Multiflagellate forms are correlated with virulence.
