Abstract
During 1990 low but continuous mortality was observed in turbot cultur ed in marine cages in France. In affected fish the kidney and spleen w ere swollen with yellowish nodules and foci of liquefaction necrosis. From moribund and dead animals dense pure culture growth of Serratia l iquefaciens was recovered. Pathogenicity tests indicated that this bac terium was probably an opportunistic pathogen.
