Abstract
A review of the pathogenic impact of Myxosporea in marine fish culture is presented. At least 11 species of Bivalvulida and 7 species of Mul tivalvulida have been described in marine or brackish fish kept in dif ferent culture systems. The pathological importance of these myxosporo ses is discussed, and their potential importance with the growth of cu lture facilities is stressed.
