Isolation and identification of fungi associated with diseased freshwater fishes in Terengganu, Malaysia

Fish health problem presents an ongoing challenge for aquaculture as disease outbreaks cause fish mortalities and financial losses. This study investigated the fungal infections in common freshwater ornamental and food fish species in Terengganu, Malaysia. Diseased gold gourami (Trichopodus trichopt...
