Abstract

Aeromonas salmonicida, a Gram-negative bacterium, causes the disease furunculosis in multiple fish species. We present the complete genome sequence of the atypical A. salmonicida strain T30, which was isolated from furunculosis in sablefish in Manchester, WA, USA. Analyzing this genome will help to identify the bacterium's role in marine aquaculture.

Keywords: Aeromonas salmonicida; genome sequence; sablefish.
