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...

An analysis of the ITS region of Saprolegnia parasitica showed five distinct phylotypes (S2–S6); S1 was not isolated from any site. Phylotype S2 was the most common and most widely distributed phylotype, being found at 12 of the 14 sampling sites. S2 was overwhelmingly sampled from fish (93.5%) and made up 91.1% of all S. parasitica phylotypes sampled during epizootics, as well as 67.2% of all Saprolegnia. This study indicates that a single phylotype may be responsible for Saprolegnia outbreaks in Atlantic salmon fish farms, and that water sampling and spore counts alone may be insufficient to predict Saprolegnia outbreaks in freshwater aquaculture.
