Specific Phylotypes of Saprolegnia parasitica Associated with Atlantic Salmon Freshwater Aquaculture.

ABSTRACT: Saprolegniosis is a major destructive disease in freshwater aquaculture. The destructive economic impact of saprolegniosis on freshwater aquaculture necessitates further study on the range of Saprolegnia species within Atlantic salmon fish farms. This study undertook a thorough analysis of a total of 412 oomycete and fungal isolates that were successfully cultured and sequenced from 14 aquaculture sites in Scotland across a two-year sampling period. An ITS phylogenetic analysis of all isolates was performed according to whether they were isolated from fish or water samples and during enzootic or epizootic periods. Several genera of oomycetes were isolated from sampling sites, including Achlya, Leptolegnia, Phytophthora, and Pythium, but by far the most pr
