Abstract
Several strains of Gram-positive short rod (cocci-bacilli)-shaped bact eria were isolated from diseased cultured turbot, Scophthalmus maximus (L.), in the North of Spain with lesions and signs of streptococcosis . The alpha-haemolytic streptococcus-like organisms from diseased turb ot were identified by physiological, biochemical and 16S rRNA gene seq uence analysis as Streptococcus parauberis. This is the first report o f S. parauberis associated with fish disease.
