A number of picorna-like viruses have been isolated from fish: barramundi virus-1 (BaV), bluegill virus (BGV), grouper virus, sea-bass virus-1 (SBV-1), smelt virus-1 (SmV-1), smelt virus-2 (SmV-2) and turbot virus-1 (TuV-1). According to Hetrick (1994), picorna-like viruses also cause disease in Rainbow smelt, Atlantic salmon, Rainbow trout, Brown trout and Japanese parrotfish. According to Chittick et al. (2001), "Picorna-like viruses have been documented in salmonids, Australian sea bass, Japanese parrotfish, red-spotted grouper, striped jack, and rainbow smelt (McAllister 1993a, 1993b; Noga 1996)".
