Randomized trial investigates survival of E. ictaluri in pond environments, suggesting implications for catfish health.

This investigation aims to confirm the survival capacity of Edwardsiella ictaluri in pond water and bottom mud.
Attested survival in pond water at 5°C and 25°C, and in bottom mud at 5°C, 18°C, and 25°C.
Survival periods measured for E. ictaluri in both environments under varying temperatures.
Densities of E. ictaluri were recorded over specified durations.
E. ictaluri maintained 106.5 cells/mL in bottom mud at 25°C for 95 days.
At 18°C, the organism sustained approximately 10-fold higher densities for 40 days.
Survival time in water at 25°C was less than 10 days, and in water and mud at 5°C less than 15 days.

Plumb et al. (1986) studied this question.
