- Edwardsiellosis of eel breaks out with high incidences every year in farm ponds in the Yoshida area (Wakabayashi and Egusa, 1973b), but is uncommon in other eel-culturing areas. Recently, however, E. tarda was reported to be isolated from eels in farm ponds in Aichi Prefecture adjacent to Shizuoka Prefecture (Uno and Muroga, 1974).
