“…As is known, the water of Biała river is more eutrophic than the water of the Dojlidy pond. We observed similar phenomenon examining the straminipilous organisms growing on the eggs of acipenserid fishes (Czeczuga et al, 1995).…”

We investigated the growth of straminipilous organisms on the skin, muscles and liver of herbivorous pirapitinga (Piaractus brachypomus) and carnivorous piranha (Pygocentrus nattereri) in water of three different eutrophication levels. Sixteen straminipilous organism species were found growing on the investigated body parts of both species of fish used as baits. The higher number of species was found on the baits of carnivorous species (15) when compared with the ones from the herbivorous pirapitinga (10 species). The highest number of straminipilous organisms species developed on the skin of both species of fish. The highest number of species of straminipilous organisms was observed growing in the water of the Biała river (middle eutrophication), while the lowest number occurred in the baits of vessels with water from the Dojlidy pond (low eutrophication).Keywords: straminipilous organisms, Piaractus brachypomus, pirapitinga, Pygocentrus nattereri, red piranha. Organismos stramenophila em crescimento na herbívora pirapitinga (Piaractus brachypomus) e na carnívora piranha (Pygocentrus nattereri) da Polônia ResumoInvestigamos o crescimento de organismos stramenophila sobre a pele, músculos e fígado da herbívora pirapitinga (Piaractus brachypomus) e da carnívora piranha (Pygocentrus nattereri) em águas de três diferentes níveis de eutrofização. Dezesseis espécies de organismos stramenophila foram encontradas crescendo sobre as partes do corpo investigadas de ambas as espécies de peixes utilizadas como cobaias. O maior número de espécies foi encontrado em cobaias de espécies carnívoras (15), quando comparado com o da herbívora pirapitinga (10 espécies). A maioria das espécies de organismos stramenophila desenvolveu-se sobre a pele de ambas as espécies de peixes. O maior número de espécies de organismos stramenophila foi observado em crescimento nas águas do rio Biała (eutrofização do meio), enquanto o número mais baixo ocorreu em cobaias de vasos com água do lago de Dojlidy (eutrofização baixa).

“…In our present study, this fungus was found on the eggs of Alosa fallax, and earlier on the eggs of Coregonus albula, Coregonus lavaretus, Esox lucius (cf Czeczuga and Woronowicz 1993), and on the eggs of sturgeon-Acipenser nudiventris ( cf. Czeczuga et al 1995). Pythium debaryanum was first described in the previous century (Hesse 1874) as a soil phytophatogen.…”

“…Fungal infection in fish eggs is usually caused by the fungi of the family Saprolegniaceae, including the genera Saprolegnia and Achlya (Wesley and Wolf 1937;Srivastava and Srivastava 1977;Srivastava 1980;Sati 1985;Padmakumar et al 1985;Czeczuga and Woronowicz 1993;Czeczuga et al 1995;Kitancharoen and Hatai 1998). Willoughby and Lilley (1992) reported the first records of Allomyces as a saprophyte on the dead fish in water in Thailand.…”

Fungal infection in the eggs of freshwater fish is well known as a problematic disease. We had a chance to examine fungal infection in common carp (Cyprinus carpio) eggs at fish farms in Khon Kaen province, northeast Thailand, in February 2002, attempting to isolate fungi from eggs with fungal infection at three fish farms (A, B, and C). Nineteen stocks of fungi from farm A, 2 fungi from farm B, and 2 fungi from farm C were isolated and 3 of them were identified as Saprolegnia diclina, Achlya (A.) klebsiana, and Allomyces (Al.) arbuscula. S. diclina, A. klebsiana, and Al. arbuscula grew well at 25°-30°C and pH 6-7, at 30°-35°C and pH 6-7, and at 30°-40°C and pH 6-8, respectively. Saprolegnia diclina grew in a medium containing NaCl up to a concentration of 3.0%, whereas A. klebsiana and Al. arbuscula grew poorly in 1.0% NaCl. Artificial infection to platyfish (Xiphophorus maculatus) was also made using the 3 fungi selected, in which injured fish were exposed to 10 4 spores/ml of S. diclina and A. klebsiana and showed 100% of mortality, but none in the other experiments. This article includes the first description of Allomyces arbuscula from fish eggs in Thailand.
