This paper briefly describes the biological characteristics,epidemiology,symptoms and hazards of Streptococcus iniae(S.iniae),as well as preventive and control measures.It is pointed out that S.iniae is one of the major pathogenic bacteria in aquatic animals,which has a wide range of infective hosts,high infectivity and high mortality,and seriously threatens the healthy and sustainable development of aquaculture.It is proposed that,in order to prevent S.iniae infection,we should improve the fish's own immunity,improve the water envi-ronment,cut off the source of infection,introduce advanced culture technology,scientific management,and guar-antee the healthy and sustainable development of aquaculture.
