Isolates from goldfish and silver perch comprised an homogeneous group while those from greenback flounder formed a second group. Isolates from Australian goldfish obtained between 1977 and 1989 were indistinguishable from goldfish isolates from the USA but slightly different from a Singaporean goldfish isolate. These and other data suggest that A. salmonicida probably crossed a species barrier from goldfish to silver perch on the same farm but that farmed greenback flounder in Tasmania have acquired a distinct strain of A. salmonicida probably from wild-caught marine fish.
