Mycobacteriosis in Farmed Sea Bream (Sparus aurata) Caused By Mycobacterium frederiksbergense in Turkey

Over the past decades, different mycobacteriosis agents have become important fish pathogens. The present study describes a different mycobacteriosis in farmed sea bream (Sparus aurata) caused by Mycobacterium frederiksbergense in Turkey. Affected 15 fish, weighing 15 to 20 g, showed lethargy, stunt...
