  • A Saprolegnia sp. was isolated from cultured snakehead, Channa argus, and its physiological characteristics were investigated. The optimum temperature, pH and NaCl concentration for mycelial growth of Saprolegnia sp. were $25^{\circ}C$, 6.0 and 0%, respectively. The mycelial growth was increased with the addition of 10 mM phosphate and 10mg/L casamino acid. The essential oils extracted from three plants, Artemisia princeps var. orientalis, Thuja orientalis and Chamaecyparis obtusa have been tested to know whether they inhibit the growth of Saprolegnia sp. at six different oil concentrations(10, 100, 500, 1,000, 1,500 and 2,000 ppm). Essential oil from A. princeps var. orientalis began to inhibite the mycelial growth of Saprolegnia sp. at the concentration more than 10ppm. Using other essential oils from T. orientalis and C. obtusa, those initially inhibited the mycelial growth of Saprolegnia sp. at the concentration over 10 ppm and complate inhibition of mycelial growth was observed at over 500 ppm. The histopathological features of Snakehead infected by Saprolegnia sp. were studied. A club shape of gill lamella epithelial cells was observed in the gill. The mycelial cells were penetrated into muscular tissue, and the accumulation of the ceroid was observed in the liver, spleen and kideny tissue in common. The necrosis of tubular epithelial cells was seen in the liver tissue, parenchymal tissue in the spleen and tubular epithelial cells in the kidney.

  • Saprelegnia sp. was isolated from water sample of Illgam lake in Kon-Kuk university and physiological and reproductive characteristics of this isolate were studied. The isolate grew at a broad range of temperature of $25^{\circ}C\;to\;30^{\circ}C$ and of pH 5 to 6. The maximum growth was attained at the concentrations of 5 mM to 10 mM of phosphate and of 14 g/l of vitamin-free casamino acid. Size of asexual reproductive propagule, zoospore, was $10.3{\mu}$ in diameter and cyst, $11.6{\mu}$. Diameter of oogonium was $47-85{\mu}$ and oospores, $21-31{\mu}$.

  • Antimicrobial activity of the essential oil extracted from plants Artemisia princeps var. orientalis, Thuja orientalis and Chamaecyparis obtusa were tested against selected pathogenic bacteria and fungi of fish. At the concentrations above 500ppm, ingibitory effect of the oil of A. princeps var. orientalis was at its peak against Aeromonas hydrophila ATCC 14715, A. hydrophila CF-2, A. salmonicida ATCC 14174 and A. salmonicida EL-1 but the bacteria Edwardsiella tarda KBF-1, Vibrio anguillarum ATCC19264, V. ordalii ATCC33509 and Streptococcus sp. were insensitive. Likewise, the oil extract of T. orientalis showed the highest inhibitory activity against V. ordalii ATCC33509, E. tarda ECK-1, and E. tarda KBF-1 at 300ppm; however the activity was highest at 500ppm or A. hydrophila ATCC14715, A. hydrophila CF-2, A. salomonicida ATCC14174, A. salmonicida EL-1 and Streptococcus sp. SF-1. With increasing dose of C. obtusa oil, the inhibitory activity became more and more effective against A. hydrophila CF-2, A. salomonicida ATCC14174, E. tarda ECK-1 and Streptococcus sp. SF-1, but A. hydrophila ATCC14174, A. salmonicida EL-1, E. tarda KBF-1, V. anguillarum ATCC19264, V. ardalii ATCC33509 and gram positive bacteria (Streptococcus sp.) were somewhat resistant. A. princeps var. orientalis, T. orientalis and C. obtusa were also tested against Saprolegnia sp. at the oil concentrations of 10, 100, 500, 1,000, 1,500 and 2,000ppm. The inhibitory effect of the oil on the inhibit the mycelial growth of Saprolegnia sp. at 10ppm and completely inhibited at over 500ppm.

  • In fresh water fish hatcheries and farms, Saprolegniales often cause serious mortality to the fish and their eggs. Malachite green is an effective antifungal agent, but is carcinogenic to fish and humans. Alternative antifungal agents are needed. Presently, we tested various concentrations of MBT-01108 (Opuntia ficus-indica extracts) alone and in combination with bronopol, formalin and sodium chloride (MBT-01108 mixture) on in vitro mycelial growth and in vivo remediation of adult eel, Anguilla japonica, infected with Saprolegnia sp. and fertilized eggs of chum salmon, Oncorhynchus keta, to evaluate the compounds' antifungal efficacy on eyed-egg and hatching rates. MBT-Oll08 mixtures incorporating bronopol and formalin at respective concentrations of 50 and 30 parts per million (ppm), and 100 and 20 ppm were most effective in controlling Saprolegnia in vitro and in vivo (P<0.05). Repeated daily exposures to 50 ppm and 100 ppm MBT-01108 were more effective than exposure every 2-3 days post-fertilization for the inhibition of Saprolegnia infection of rainbow trout, Oncorhynchus mykiss eggs as compared with control (0 ppm).
