The isolated bacteria in this study found to be very similar with Y. ruckeri
All samples were contaminated and a type of bacterium isolated from Liver, Kidney and spleen of all the moribund fish

Yersinia ruckeri causes Enteric-red-mouth disease (ERM) in rainbow trout. It is an important disease of salmonid fish and was first described by Ross et al [3] and Rucker [4].
