changes occurring in several organs of grass carp challenged with different concentrations
of Edwardsiella tarda. The healthy grass carps were challenged with the bacterial
suspension of 10 6, 10 7, 10 8, 10 9 and 10 10 CFU ml− 1. The study demonstrated that the
lethal dose (LD 50-96h) of E. tarda for grass carp is 1.3× 10 9 CFU ml− 1. The infected fish
showed abnormal swimming behavior, slower movements, skin necrosis, hemorrhages, and …
