Interpretive Summary: In this manuscript we publish and describe the genome from a strain that was collected at the water source of a trout farm in Idaho. We determined that this bacterium can inhibit the growth of fish pathogens. Having the genome available will be useful in determining if this strain produces novel antibiotics.

Technical Abstract: A draft genome of Aeromonas popoffii ID682, isolated from a natural water source in Idaho, is presented here. A. popoffii is a relatively understudied species within a diverse, expanding freshwater genus of bacteria. Herein we describe only the second genome published for this species to date.
