ABSTRACT

The current study aims to identify some of the fungal diseases prevalent in cultured Cyprinus carpio. A total of 137 examined cultured Cyprinus carpio were collected alive from Nabi Al-Sen farm at Tartous Governorate during the year (2021 & 2022). The fish were microbiologically (fungal) examined, and samples were taken from the affected skin, external wounds, fins, gills, and internal organs (intestine) using multiplication medium Peptone Water and culture medium Poteto Dextrose Agar (PDA). After incubation, the developing fungal species were isolated in order to purify and identify them. The results showed Two species of Moniliella isolated for the first time in the world from fish in this study: Moniliella suaveolens and Moniliella acetoabutens.
