Rainbow trout immunised by injection, immersion and orally with killed and live cells of Aeromonas hydrophila, produced antibodies in the serum, bile, skin and gut mucus, and skin and muscle extracts. The antibodies were of a low affinity macroglobulin class, sensitive to 2-mercaptoethanol, and of a structure comprising heavy and light chains.
