Abstract Seventeen fungal species belong to six genera were recovered from the four organs ofTilapia fish and the most common wereSaprolegnia ferax, S. diclina, Achlya dubia, A. americana, A. racemosa andA. flagellata, Dictyuchus sterile,Pythium undulatum andAphanomyces sp. Severe infection followed by death of all fish was incited byS. parasitica andS. ferax through experiment I. 30–70% ofT. nilotica andT. galileae were killed through experiment II byS. parasitica andS. ferax. T. galileae was more susceptible to fungal infection thanT. nilotica.
