The study revealed that Asp. niger was the most fungus isolated and affected fish during summer season, while Saprolegnia spp. was the most fungus affected fish and isolated during winter season . Saprolegnia spp. responsible for high percentage of mortality among affected fish and also lead to decrease percentage of hatchability among affecting fish eggs.
