SUMMARY Fungal diseases are often indicative of a more serious problem. Saprolegniasis is a common fungal disease which affects the external surfaces of fish. It can be eliminated easily after the primary cause of illness has been identified and corrected. On the other hand, Branchiomycosis, a relatively new problem in the U.S., has caused high mortalities in cultured fish, and is difficult to control. Ichthyophonus disease is a systemic fungal disease and once it enters the fish, there is no cure. The best control for all fungal infections is good management: good water quality, good nutrition and proper handling. -------------------------------------------------------- Footnotes 1.
