🧍 Thompson et al. 2011 propose to use the name Vibrio anguillarum Bergeman 1909 (Approved Lists 1980) in place of Listonella anguillarum corrig. (Bergeman 1909) MacDonell and Colwell 1986. It should be noted that the original publication uses the spelling "Arvid M. BERGMAN (Veterinär, Schlachthofdirektor in Malmö, Schweden)" and not Bergeman as indicated in the Approved Lists.
