Bacterium kills tons of goldfish

Well, actually, bacteria, plural, killed tons of goldfish in Indonesia. A bacterium is very small, and even a goldfish is in relative terms very large. 820 tons of goldfish is very large by all but astronomical terms. What they mean, of course, is that a single species, Aeromanas hydrophila (something about air, loves water?) was responsible.
