Abstract

A total of 12 isolates of fungi were obtained from diseased fishes which belongs
to four species namely Saprolegnia parasitica, Saprolegnia ferax,
Saprolegnia hypogyana, Saprolegnia diclina. All these fungi were isolated from
four different species of fishes viz. Channa gachua, Channa straitus, Channa
punctatus, Clarias batrachus. The parasitic ability of all the twelve fungi was
confirmed by conducting pathogenicity tests under laboratory conditions using
healthy fishes of the same species. All the species of fungi were found to be
pathogenic to fish. But Saprolegnia parasitica was more virulent showing infection
within eight hours.
