“…There is no doubt that ecological differences in different geographical locations play an important role in the species diversity of the fungi that develop on both fish and eggs (Alabi, 1971;Avtalion et al, 1973;Wood and Willoughby, 1986). Although environmental variables were not studied herein, they are known to influence the growth, reproduction, and intensity of aquatic fungal infections.…”

An epizootic of the fungal infection saprolegniosis that occurred in freshwatercultured salmons and their eggs at some hatcheries in Hokkaido (Japan) was investigated. In almost all cases, the initial clinical sign was characterized by the growth of cotton-like mycelia on the fishs' body surface, especially the head, adipose fin, and caudal fin, but the mycelia were not visible to the naked eye in the internal organs. Thirty-three strains isolated from lesions were classified in the genus Saprolegnia according to their morphological and biological characteristics on hemp seed cultures at various temperatures. Fifteen of the strains were identified as Saprolegnia parasitica, 16 were identified as S. salmonis, and two were identified as S. australis.

“…Attempts to use peroxidase staining methods for differentiating granulocytes showed that they carried peroxidase activity in the examined fish species (AVTALION et al, 1973;ELLIS et al, 1976;KRALJ-KLOBUCAR, 1982). However, it can also be found in unripe monocytes (BIELEK, 1981).…”

Whole cell suspensions from ten one-year-old carp were used for phagocytosis tests with opsonized sheep red blood cells (SRBC) within a duration of 24 hrs. The results were evaluated from the counts of smears stained for peroxidase activity and by Giemsa stain.The phagocytosing cells were of two lines: the macrophages and the neutrophils. A certain cell form resembling round thrombocytes could not be classified. The macrophages ingested the most SRBC/cell. The average number of ingested SRBC increased continuously in the macrophages, but remained low in the neutrophils.Increase in the total number of phago cytosed SRBC was the fastest in the first hour of incubation with a relatively slow progress in the succeeding hours. However, a second rise in the total number of phagocytosed SRBC occurred between the 12th and 24th hour of incubation.A strongly increasing number of juvenile neutrophil forms participating in the phagocytosis was observed during this period resulting in both the number of phagocytosing neutrophils and the number of phagocytosed SRBC by the neutrophils surpassing significantly those figures for the macrophages. Data on the phagocytosis by the neutrophils are assumed to reflect an important initial functional phase of the unspecific defence mechanism.
