A review on fungal diseases of algae, marine fishes, shrimps and corals

چکیده
It is a well-known fact that diseases affect health, survival and recruitment of any individual susceptible for diseases. As a consequence of disease, harvests from natural resources and, in particular, those from aquaculture dwindle quite severely. While an appreciable volume of information on variety of mycotic diseases in the marine organisms is available on global scale, studies from Indian waters are, at best, very few. This review is an attempt of bringing together a set of information deemed useful for stimulating marine mycopathological investigations in our waters. The information put together here is also to highlight the importance of pathology in general and fungal diseases in particular.

متن کاملOcean acidification and its potential effects on marine ecosystems.
Ocean acidification is rapidly changing the carbonate system of the world oceans. Past mass extinction events have been linked to ocean acidification, and the current rate of change in seawater chemistry is unprecedented. Evidence suggests that these changes will have significant consequences for marine taxa, particularly those that build skeletons, shells, and tests of biogenic calcium carbona...
