Striped bass (Morone saxatilis) juveniles raised in an intensive culture system had chronic mortality resulting from infections with Mycobacterium marinum. Approximately one-half of a population of 900 yearlings succumbed to the disease and 80% of those remaining were infected. The bacteria were isolated on Petrignani's medium after 7 days at 25 C and subcultures grew at temperatures from 20 to 37 C. The disease was characterized by systemic nodular lesions in all major organs. Older tubercles contained numerous acid-fast bacilli. Chemotherapy by feeding rifampin (6 mg/100 g of food for 60 days) was not an effective treatment. Subclinical mycobacteriosis in adult striped bass may be the source for vertical transmission to their progeny.
在集约化养殖系统中饲养的条纹鲈（Morone saxatilis）幼鱼因感染海分支杆菌而出现慢性死亡。900条一岁鱼中约有一半死于该病，其余的80%受到感染。细菌在25℃下培养7天后在佩特里尼亚尼培养基上分离出来，传代培养物在20至37℃的温度下生长。该病的特征是所有主要器官出现全身性结节性病变。较老的结节含有大量抗酸杆菌。通过投喂利福平（每100克食物6毫克，持续60天）进行化疗不是一种有效的治疗方法。成年条纹鲈的亚临床分枝杆菌病可能是垂直传播给其后代的来源。
