Abstract

Artificial infection with the fungi Saprolegnia diclina BKKU 0506 and Achlya bisexualis BKKU 0616 was induced in the platyfish (Xiphophorus maculates) via exposure to zoospores following artificial injury by scale removal and net-shake or “ami-momi” treatment. The results suggested that ami-momi treatment, but not scale removal, could be used to establish severe fungal infection in small freshwater tropical fish as well as salmonids.
