Abstract: Vibrio harveyi is a kind of important pathogenic bacteria for seawater animals, such as prawn, crab, calm and ormer. Along with the development of seawater fish cage-culture in China, Vibrio harveyi also becomes a main cause of disease of cage-culture fish, including Lutianus erythopterus, Seriola dumerili, Epinephelus coioides and Pseudosciaena cro-cea. One pathogenic V. harveyi strain, GYC1108-1, which was isolated from diseased Pseudosciaena crocea in Zhejiang Province, 2003, was identified after morphological observation, biochemical characteristic analysis, 16sRNA and HSP60 gene sequence detection.
