In addition to determining bacterial populations in skin samplesof healthy fish, bacterial populations were determined from skin lesions (of brown trout only)infected with Saprolegnia parasitica, the causal agent of saprolegniosis. Mean bacterial countsfrom skin lesions of brown trout suffering from saprolegniosis were nearly 1000 times greater thanfrom the skin of uninfected brown and rainbow trout. More than 20 different genera of bacteriawere identified, with isolates of Aeromonas and Iodobacter being the predominant genera associatedwith saprolegniosis lesions. The in vitro inhibitory activity of 72 of these skin isolates wastested against S. parasitica using 3 different assays. These included (1) assessing the inhibition bybacteria of colony growth on agar media, (2) the inhibition of colony growth from colonized hempseeds in liquid media and (3) the inhibition of cyst germination in liquid media. Finally, the fungicidaleffect of the 24 most inhibitory bacterial species, and the inhibitory activity of their culturesupernatants, was tested in the same way. Isolates identified as Aeromonas piscicola, A. sobria,Pantoea agglomerans and Pseudomonas fluorescens achieved the highest inhibition against S.parasitica. Many of these inhibitory isolates were obtained primarily from skin lesions of fish withsaprolegniosis. It is suggested that some of these isolates might be useful in the biological controlof saprolegniosis.
