Tenacibaculum maritimum is a pathogenic bacterium found in diseased fish species and causes symptoms of rotten fins, skin lesions, and internal organ paleness. This bacterium lives in a host-associated ecosystem, specifically in fish kidneys. The bacterium may reside inside the fish kidneys but it causes the disease, tenacibaculosis, which shows symptoms of lesions and necrosis on almost all surfaces of the infected fish. The cells of T. maritimum stain gram-negative and use gliding motility.
