The most important bacterial pathology currently occurring in Chilean freshwater salmon farming is the cold-water disease produced by the psychrotrophic bacteria  Flavobacterium psychrophilum . The main aim of this study was to characterize the inhibitory activity of an antagonist strain on the formation of biofilms of a  F .  psychrophilum  strain. The antagonistic strain  Pseudomonas fluorescens  FF48 was isolated from the sediment beneath the salmon cages of a freshwater Chilean salmon farm and was identified by using the 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis. The production of siderophores, mainly during the stationary phase of growth of the antagonist strain was demonstrated using the Chrome Azurol S method and through  F .  psychrophilum  inhibition under iron saturation conditions. Subsequently, the effect of the antagonist supernatant on the formation of  F .  psychrophilum  biofilm was tested using the crystal violet staining method observing an inhibition of the growth of  F .  psychrophilum , but no effect was observed when iron saturation concentrations were used. Furthermore, when the antagonist strain was previously deposited on the support, it completely inhibited the formation of  F .  psychrophilum  biofilms, but when both bacteria were inoculated simultaneously no inhibitory effect was detected. In conclusion, it was demonstrated that FF48 strain is able to inhibit the formation of  F .  psychrophilum  biofilms  in vitro  probably mediated by the siderophore production, suggesting its potential use as a biocontrol biofilm in freshwater fish rearing systems to prevent the persistence of biofilms of the fish pathogenic species  F .  psychrophilum .
