26 strains of Vibrio anguillarum isolated from Seriola quinqueradiata, Chrysophrys major and Oplegnathus faseiatus between July 1985 and December 1986 were examined for their serological identification. When the isolates were examined on the basis of cross-agglutination and crossabsorption tests with thermostable antigens(O) of V, anguillarum 6 serotypes reported by Kitao et at.(1983), they showed positive agglutination reaction only with serotype C, the representative strain PT-213, and also formed double precipitation lines against anti-PT-213 serum, and specifically reacted with the PT-213 strain on cross-absorption test. Therfore, it was thought that all the isolates have single serotype and its serotype is identical with serotype C. the representatve strain PT-213 reported by Kitao et al. (1983).
