and temperature on the growth of fungus, histopathology of the fungus on striped catfish (Pangasianodon hypophthalmus) The fungus which was used for the experiment was the isolation in the natural The total strains which isolating were 10 strains at An Giang province There were strains of fungi that were used for the challenge test that has designed with two series The infection rate is 42.2% for 105 of concentration, and 45.6% for the 106 of concentration The re-isolation result showed that the fungi which were injected on fish were mainly occurred in swimming bladder 17.2%-25.9%, kidney 10%-22.5%, and seldom in gills 0%-6.7% of 105, and 23.3%-34.5% in swimming bladder, 13.3%-23.8% in the kidney, and 0%-6.9% in gill of 106 for all strains The fungus can be grown differently when the temperature was different in the temperature test The result showed that the temperature was one of factor which infected to the growth of fungi colony The temperature which helped the fungi was good growth at 25oC-30oC, and the best growth was 28oC, and the fungi were lower growth at 20oC, and stopped growth at 35oC Beside that, the sodium chlorine was also infected to the growth of fungi The fungi were grown well on the GYA media with 0%-8% of sodium chlorine The histopathology was showed that the different between of healthy fish and fish which infected by fungi The healthy fish was not found the fungus on the sample of histopathology The mycelia were appeared on the fish which affected by fungal The result showed that was ensured the occurring of fungi on the striped catfish which isolated on the nature, and re-isolated on the challenge test CONTENTS Acknowledgements i Abstract ii Contents iii List of tables vi List of figures vii Chapter I: Introduction 1.1 Introduction 1.2

species which is a high economy value, however, the farmers culture it with high density, and it is easy to make their fish get diseases There are many studies to search what kind of diseases which can infect to catfish General research is about pathology, the results that are catfish can be infected by bacterial, virus, parasites, or fungi Tu Thanh Dung, et al (2002) was found the bacteria disease on catfish that is very dangerous disease because it make more risk for farmers That bacteria is Edwarsiella ictaluri, it infect on liver, kidney of catfish and make many death fish Beside that, they also research to find the way to treat this disease There are many studies to search about this kind of bacteria, and show way how to know how many Edwarsiella ictaluri are infected on catfish (Nguyen Ngoc Dung and Dang Thi Hoang Oanh, 2010) Beside that, Nguyen Thi Thu Hang and Dang Thi Hoanh Oanh (2011) also found that catfish can be infected by Microsporidia; it is a group of parasite On the other hand, catfish can get disease from fungus, but there is no more research to study about that There is some research to find-out how fungi infect on aquatic animals In 2004, Kanit Chukanhom and Kishio Haitai were isolated freshwater fungi from eggs of common carp (Cyprinus carpio) in Thailand They were isolated some kind of fungus: Saprolegnia diclina, and Allomyces arbuscula Fungi can be caused disease for many species of fish such as: Snakehead (Channa striata), Climbing perch (Anabas testudineus) On study of Nguyen Thi Thuy Hang (2011), finding about the fungi which cause disease on Channa triata in fingerling stage with purposing is identify and put the forward to solve problem In 2010, Tran Ngoc Tuan and Pham Minh Duc have the study on fungus which infected on climbing perch That study focus on biology characteristic of fungal 4.6 Histopathology The histopathology was help this study to assert that the differences between healthy fish and fungus disease fish The fungus was not appearing on the swimming bladder of healthy fish In the reverse, the fungus was occurring on the swimming bladder of fish which infected by fungus According to Solangi and Lightner (1975), the Fusarium sp was infected on white shrimp (Penaeus setiferus) and brown shrimp (Penaeus aztecus) They showed that fungus was AA attacked on the gill lamella of two species in the histopathology samples with PAS staining method The single macroconidium was occurring after 4hrs to inject on the white shrimp, and 8hrs to inject on the brown shrimp On the study of Sosa et al., 2007, the researchers showed that the mycelia of Aphanomyces invadans fungus on fresh water fish which lived in estuarine in Florida when they observed on the histopathology samples that stained with periodic acid Schiff’s – hematocylin – metanil yellow The study indicated the free hyphae in the muscle of fish with no granulomatous response, and the granulomas surrounding hyphae According to Tuan (2010), the colonies granulomas of fungus also occurred on the muscle of climbing perch (Anabas testudineus) in all of fish which injected with fungal conidia On the study of Duc et al (2010), they were also found that the two genus of fungi Plectosporium oratosquillae and Acremonium sp that caused black spot on the gill filaments of kuruma prawn (Penaeus japonicus) by the histopathological examination They were using the Grocott-H&E staining method to reveal the numerous hyphae in the gill filaments at day 34 of NJM 0662, and day of NJM 0672 Necrosis of muscles and the encapsulation of hyphae were observed around the injection site on the prawn at day 45 or day 10 after inoculation The hyphae were not appearing in the control group of prawn B C D Figure 4.4: The histopathology (A) and (B): the swimming bladder of fish C C A B A without infected by fungus; (C): the numerous hyphae of fungus which infecting on fish (40X, showing by arrow); (D): the hyphae with septum in the swimming bladder of fish (100X, showing by arrow) H&E staining CHAPTER V CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS 5.1 Conclusions Fusarium sp was the fungi which isolated on the striped catfish (Pangasianodon hypophthalmus) in pond culture The fungi can cause diseases on the striped catfish (Pangasianodon hypophthalmus); it was only causing the infection rate from 37.90% to 48.10% for 105 of fungus conidia, and from 41.40% to 48.30% for 106 of fungus conidia The colonies of fungus can be infected of concentration of sodium chlorine on GYA medium, and temperature The average diameter of colony was from 2.89 cm to 5.61 cm for 0%-8% of concentration of sodium chlorine; and 2.21 – 5.50 cm for 20oC-30oC of temperature It depends on the difference of sodium chlorine concentration or temperature value, the average of fungus diameter was different The mycelia of fungi were occurring in swimming bladder because of Fusarium sp infected Therefore, the histopathological examinations of that organ show the mycelia which were clear with the H&E staining method 5.2 Recommendations Should be collected more fish samples which to evaluate exactly the infection ability of fungal on striped catfish (Pangasianodon hypophthalmus) The challenge test which should does more times with many difference concentrations of conidia to have exactly confirming about causing disease ability of fungus

hypophthalmus) in grow – out stage was done 1.2 Objective of study The aim is to describe isolation and identification of causative agents of fungal infection found in the striped catfish (Pangasianodon hypophthalmus) in grow- out stage Beside that,... be bringing some things new to the studying about the disease on striped catfish 4.3 The effect of sodium chlorine on growth of fungi Concentration of sodium chlorine infected on fungus which grew on the GYA medium in 6 days That was showed on the table 4.1 Each of fungus was different growth such as: AG1201 was growth best in 4% of concentration of sodium chlorine, and lowest in 8% of concentration... fungi which isolated on the striped catfish (Pangasianodon hypophthalmus) in pond culture The fungi can cause diseases on the striped catfish (Pangasianodon hypophthalmus); it was only causing the infection rate from 37.90% to 48.10% for 105 of fungus conidia, and from 41.40% to 48.30% for 106 of fungus conidia The colonies of fungus can be infected of concentration of sodium chlorine on GYA medium, and... laboratory condition to check the infection ability of that fungus in four weeks Fish which injected with macroconidia was isolated three organs: swimming bladder, kidney, and gill to check the occurring of fungus The fungus was only appearing on the treatments group, was not have the fungus on the control group The result shows that the infection rate was 0% on the non- treatment group, and the infection rate... macroconidia of fungus with cotton blue staining (arrows showing) 4.2 Isolation and identification 4.2.1 Observation on the wet-mount The sampling was checked the parasite, the occurring of the fungus that was infected on the fish before isolating the fungus Parasite has infected on the fish, but it was only 2-3 individuals per lame That parasite which attacked on striped catfish was Trichodina spp... also determines the probability to cause disease of fungus which is the basic to prevent the fungus disease on striped catfish 1.3 Research contents of study o To isolate and identify fungal infection in striped catfish disease o To examine the effects temperature and sodium
