Abstract

Healthy and infected fish Channa punctatus were collected from Wadali Lake Amravati for the present study during July 2011 to July 2013. The infected fishes in catch were identified from red spot on their body, damaged and their sluggishness. In the present investigation mycological studies were carried out on fishes with fungal infection. Isolates Fungi were obtained from infected fishes exhibited eleven different fungal infections. The fungal infected tissue was cultured on appropriate culture media and the microscopic observations showed the presence of fungal species like Alternaria alternata, Aphanomyces invadans, Aspergillus flavus, Aspergillus niger, Cladosporium cladosporides, Curvularia lunata, Drechslera hawaiinsis, Fusarium oxysporum, , Mucor mucedo, Rhizopus stolonifer and Saprolegnia parasitica. All these Fungi were isolated from Channa punctatus.
