Abstract
Zoospores of an Aphanomyces from a diseased fish ceased to be motile f ollowing physical shock, or ionic shock with 100 mg Ca l(-1), but moti lity was regained after 4.5 h, without an intervening encystment phase . This novel finding indicates that, in this fungus at least, zoospore s might be transported, immobile, by water currents and encyst only in response to conducive surfaces.
