Abstract

Investigation mycobiota associate with marine water fishes (flathead mullet and blue spot mullet) investigation revealed the presence of variety of fungal species, particularly, toxigenic species, such as, Aspergillus spp, Penicillium spp and Fusarium spp. These results are indication of the spoilage of fishes which caught from Suez Canal and are risky for human consumption and hazardous to human health in this important area of Egypt. The results showed also, the presence of several genera of different fungi including Aspergillus spp., Mucor sp., Penicillium spp., Yeast sp., Fusarium spp., Scopiolariopsis sp., Alternaria sp., Cladosporium sp. The data also showed that, Aspergillus spp. Fusarium spp. and Penicillium spp., were the most present in all fish samples.
