Francisella piscicida is a Gram-negative bacterium present in Atlantic cod.^[1]^[2] It is the causative agent of francisellosis, a serious disease present in Norwegian cod farming.^[3]

Diagnosis of F. piscicida infection in fish is typically made through culture methods; however, alternative diagnostic assays have been developed that can be used directly on fish specimens.^[4]
