Abstract
Vibrio anguillarum is an important pathogen of fish, especially marine fish reared under intensive conditions [2,6]. The economic importance of this disease has prompted considerable research into the development of vaccines for its control, and these have met with partial success [3,7]. However, very little is known of the biochemical basis of pathogenicity of V. anguillarum. As well as the scientific value of understanding the fundamental mechanisms underlying the interactions between pathogens and their hosts [12], such knowledge can have practical importance, especially in the development of improved and more specific vaccines.
