The genus Aliivibrio accommodates six species. Cells are Gram-negative, facultatively anaerobic, motile by means of polar flagella, and rod shaped. Strains are oxidase-positive, fermentative, and able to grow on glucose as the sole carbon source. Require NaCl for growth, with optimal concentration 1–3% (w/v). Some strains are luminous. The major fatty acids are C15:0 iso 2-OH and C16:1 ω8c. Found in marine environment, some strains form mutualistic symbioses with marine fish and squids, and some are pathogens of fish.

DNA G + C content (mol%): 38–42 (Tm).

Type species: Aliivibrio fischeri Urbanczyk et al. 2007VP (Photobacterium fischeri Beijerinck 1889, Vibrio fischeri Lehmann and Neumann 1896).
