There were two agents in the SSHI that really stood out in terms of risks of transmission from salmon farmers and Tenacibaculum was one of them. Tenacibaculum is also the most consistently impactful agent in our population level models, showing impacts across all three species. It is certainly of concern. There is more work to do on this bacterium in understanding its disease-causing potentially in all of the Pacific salmon species.
We know that in farmed Atlantic salmon, it causes the disease mouth rot and can be quite problematic on farms. In Pacific salmon and other species of fish, it causes a different disease called tenacibaculosis. There have not been a lot of studies done on wild Pacific salmon with that bacterium, but certainly our data do suggest that we need to be very precautionary in our approach with this bacterium.
