Abstract
Thirty nine isolates of filamentous fungi of the genera Alternaria, Cladosporium,
Fusarium and Penicillium were isolated from 78 water samples of 15 stations during
FORV Sagar Sampada cruise No. 24 (16-11-1986 to 04-12-1986). Cladosporium
was dominant including the marine species C. herbarum. Most of the filamentous fungi
isolated restricted themselves to the coastal areas and theislands indicating their terrigenous
origin and adaptation to high salinity.
Aeromycological studies of four laboratories and hydrographic winch area of the
ship revealed the presence of Aspergillus, Cephalosporium, Curvularia, Drechslera,
Fusarium and Penicillium. Fusarium was dominant followed by Aspergillus including
A. flavus.
