Gram negative, slightly  curved cells, 1 x 2-3 µm,motile by at least one polar flagellum.
Colonies on TSA are translucent, non-swarming , convex, smooth, rounded, beige, 5
mm in diameter after 48 hours at 28 °C incubation. Colonies on TCBS agar are
yellow, translucent, 5-10 mm in diameter.
Variable growth in nutrient broth with: 8% NaCl. No growth in 0% NaCl.No growth at 4,
35 or 40 °C. Facultative anaerobe.
Isolated from diseased oyster (Ostrea edulis) larvae in France, sea water in Hawaii and shrimp (Penaeus chinensis) in China.
Sensitivity to vibriostatic agent O/129  is variable.
Unknown. Some strains are isolated from diseased oyster (Ostrea edulis) larvae.
