Diseases caused by Vibrio harveyi lead to severe economic losses in the aquaculture industry. Adhesion is an important disease-causing factor observed in bacteria with chemotactic activity. In our study, we measured the adhesion of V. harveyi by subjecting the bacteria to stress using Cu2+, Pb2+, Hg2+, and Zn2+. The genes responsible for chemotaxis (cheA, cheB, cheR, cheV, and cheY), which are also crucial for adhesion, were identified and silenced via RNAi. We observed that a decrease in chemotactic gene expression reduced the abil
