Proposal that Vibrio marinus (Russell 1891) Ford 1927 be Amalgamated with Vibrio fischeri (Beijerinck 1889) Lehmann and Neumann 1896

It is proposed that the species Vibrio fischeri (Beijerinck 1889) Lehmann and Neumann 1896 and Vibrio marinus (Russell 1891) Ford 1927 be combined as a single species on the basis of their overall similarity. The correct name of this species is V. fischeri, of which V. marinus is a later, subjective synonym. NCMB 1281 (= ATCC 7744) is designated as the neotype strain of V. fischeri.
