About 7% mortality occurred in rainbow trout, Oncorhynchus mykiss, during seawater adaptation at a marine farm in the South Sea of Korea during the winter of 2014. Most diseased fish showed petechial hemorrhaging of gills and internal fat with enlarged spleen. Although no parasites or bacteria were isolated from the diseased fish, all tissue filtrates produced cytopathic effects (CPEs) in fathead minnow and Chinook salmon embryo‐214 cells. The cell culture supernatant showing CPE contained specific 1527‐bp fragment for the infectious hematopoietic necrosis virus (IHNV) glycoprotein gene by polymerase chain reaction. Their nucleotide sequences shared 98.1–98.2% identities with IHNV RtUi02 isolated from rainbow trout in Korea. This isolate (RtGoH14) was closely related to Korean IHNV isolates of genogroup JRt rather than to those of North American and European genogroups. These results suggest that this IHNV isolate might have been introduced to rainbow trout farm (land‐based culture system) in Korea. This is the first report of IHNV infection in rainbow trout during seawater adaptation in Korea.
