Histomorphological changes were observed to assess the effect of fungus on gill, liver and kidney of Rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss). The most frequent histological changes detected in the gills included hypertrophy, hyperplasia and fusion of secondary lamellae. Other lesions found were vacuolization, blood congestion, and increased melano-macrophage (MM) in liver. Shrinkage of glomerulus, increased Bowmen's space, increased MM and hematopoietic tissue were observed in the kidney.Keywords

In the present study, fungal infected and healthy adult rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) and Indian hill trout (Barilius bendelisis) were examined under scanning electron microscope to investigate the pathological alterations in gill, fin, skin and eye. The gill lamellae of infected rainbow trout were found ruptured and showed structural disorganization with fusion of respiratory lamellae and reduced interlamellar space. The eyes were found to be completely covered with mycelium. Descaling, scale erosion, abrasion of the skin and sloughing off epithelium was noticed in infected fish. The fins were found to be invaded by fungal hyphae and mycelium covered the fin epidermis. Moreover, the epithelial structure of fins was lost. In conclusion, fungi primarily infected all the boundary tissues which resulted in pathological alterations and eventual mortalities.Keywords
