A numerical taxonomic study was carried out to establish the relationship of group F to other biochemically similar organisms within the family Vibrionaceae. A total of 154 strains were examined including 59 of group F. Of 114 characters determined for each strain, 100 were used to compute average Euclidean distances between strains. Four methods of clustering were used, all of which gave very similar results. Strains resembling V. anguillarum fell into clusters corresponding to V. anguillarum, Beneckea nereida and a previously unrecognized group, phenon 5. Strains of the Aeromonas hydrophila/punctata group formed a heterogenous phenon within which certain subdivisions, perhaps artificial, could be discerned. Group F strains all fell in 1 closely-knit cluster distinct from all the species of Vibrio, Aeromonas, Plesiomonas and Photobacterium studied. Group F strains could be divided into 2 biovars, I and II. Both biovars are present in aquatic, particularly estuarine, environments throughout the world but biovar I strains were also isolated from humans with diarrhea. Group F is a synonym of group EF6 and the strains within these groups should be classified in a new species named V. fluvialis. The type strain is NCTC 11327.
