The case study reported upon a virulent Aeromonas hydrophila isolation for the first time from infected Labeo gonius, L. bata, L. calbasu and Puntius javanicus under mid-hill condition exhibiting various clinical signs like surface ulcer, fin rot, opacity of eye, and hemorrhagic septicemia. Isolation was done from eye, surface ulcer and kidney of infected fish and pond waters using Aeromonas selective agar media. A total of 21 representative isolates were identified as A. hydrophila by biochemical test. The histo-pathological study of liver, kidney, heart, gill shows infiltration of lymphocytes and gradually cell distortion. The present study emphasizes on the isolation, proper detection of virulent, opportunistic pathogen like A. hydrophila for health management in aquaculture to save the famers from huge crop failure.
