As a result of experimental infection of juvenile sea bass (Dicentrarchus labrax) and turbot (Scophthalmus maximus) to the bacterium Yersinia ruckeri by inoculation and bathing in contaminated water, it is now known that both species of fish are susceptible to this pathogen. In addition, the data indicate that the turbot is more susceptible to Y. ruckeri than sea bass.
