Abstract

A mycological examination of the saffron cod Eleginus gracilis (Tilesius, 1810) and the Asiatic smelt Osmerus mordax dentex Steindachner & Kner, 1870, caught in the Amursky Bay (Peter the Great Bay of the Sea of Japan) revealed several species of filamentous fungi. In total, 105 isolates of filamentous fungi were obtained from the skin integument and internal organs (31 isolates from the saffron cod and 74 isolates from the Asiatic smelt). Three species of filamentous fungi were found in the saffron cod: Aspergillus flavus Link, Penicillium brevicompactum Dierckx, and Phialophorophoma sp. Six species of filamentous fungi were found in the Asiatic smelt: Aspergillus wentii Wehmer, Aspergillus sp., Cladosporium cladosporioides (Fresen.) de Vries, Penicillium albidum Sopp., Penicillium nigricans (Bain.) Thom, and Humicola grisea Traaen. All the identified species are anamorphic stages of ascomycetes. In the saffron cod, the organs most frequently invaded by fungi were the gills (three fungal species were found); two species of fungi were found in the muscles and liver and one species each were identified in the skin integument and in gonads. The distribution of fungi in the Asiatic smelt was different: four fungal species were revealed in the skin integument, three species in the gills, two species in muscles, one species in the liver, one species in the gonads, and two species on the fins.
