Experimental Induction of Tenacibaculosis in Atlantic Salmon (<i>Salmo salar</i> L.) Using <i>Tenacibaculum maritimum</i>, <i>T. dicentrarchi</i>, and <i>T. finnmarkense</i>

There is a limited understanding of the pathogenesis of tenacibaculosis in Atlantic salmon (<i>Salmo salar</i> L.) and there are few reproducible exposure models for comparison. Atlantic salmon were exposed via bath to <i>Tenacibaculum maritimum</i>, <i>T. dicentrarchi&...
