The Parasitic Watermolds: Taxonomy, Ecology, Pathology and Control

R.D. Khulbe (Author)

Synopsis Lower filamentous aquatic fungi are generally known as watermolds, which are ubiquitous member of aquatic and semiaquatic environment. Being facultative parasites, these species cause a great loss in fish productivity, agricultural and vegetable yields. The information regarding mycopathology of the watermolds is limited and scattered. The present monograph is a detailed study on the watermolds with special reference to: Pathogenicity; Disease symptoms in fishes and plants; Isolation and Culture; Taxonomy; Control, and Ecology. The monograph would be very much useful for students, researchers teachers, scientists, and administrators related to mycology, animal and plant pathology, animal husbandary, fisheries, aquatic-biology, limnology, aqua-culture, and environmental sciences.
