Aeromonas salmonicida was isolated from salmon lice Lepeophtheirus salmonis and zooplankton in samples taken at a fish farm with an outbreak of furunculosis. By use of immunomagnetic beads coated with monoclonal antibodies against the lipopolysaccharides of A. salmonicida, the bacteria were retrieved in almost pure culture from certain of the heavily "contaminated" environmental samples.
