Open-access Hifalomicose em Mustelus schmitti (Springer) (Chondrichthyes, Triakidae)

Hyphalomycosis in Mustelus schmitii (Springer) (Chondrichthyes, Triakidae)

Resumo

Both fungai and algal infections have been reported in elasmobranchs. This study describes the first record of hyphalomycosis infection in Mustelus schmitii (Springer, 1940). The data was obtained through the examination of one animal in captivity and ninety five in their natural environment. Was also detected four cases of Fusarium solani infection. The impact of these diseases on the wild population is unknown.
