Abstract The possible fate in sea water of the two fish pathogenic bacteria Vibrio anguillarum and Vibrio salmonicida is discussed on the basis of microcosm experiments with these and other copiotrophic bacteria. Recent articles dealing with the survival of fish pathogens are reviewed, and the reported survival capacities are discussed in relation to ecological mechanisms, such as death, and predation, leading to the removal of bacteria from the water column.
