  <dc:description>&lt;div id="9834433" class="article-section-wrapper js-article-section js-content-section  " data-section-parent-id="0"&gt;&lt;p&gt;Examination of the intestinal contents of 130 striped bass (&lt;i&gt;Morone saxatilis&lt;/i&gt;) collected from the Hudson River and Long Island Sound during May to October 1981 showed that opportunistic fish pathogens—especially&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;i&gt;Aeromonas hydrophila&lt;/i&gt;—predominated in samples from both locations. Other isolates from both groups of striped bass included&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;i&gt;Vibrio&lt;/i&gt;, pseudomonads, flavobacteria,&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;i&gt;Alcaligenes&lt;/i&gt;, and enterics. Small numbers of&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;i&gt;Micrococcus&lt;/i&gt;,&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;i&gt;Bacillus&lt;/i&gt;,&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;i&gt;Corynebacterium&lt;/i&gt;, and&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;i&gt;Acinetobacter&lt;/i&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;were also isolated. Total numbers of bacteria in the intestines were 100 to 1,000 times higher in striped bass from the Hudson River than in those from Long Island Sound.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</dc:description>
