Abstract
During March 1988, three fungus species namely: Saprolegnia ferax, S. terrestris and Achlya polyandra were isolated from alive and dead specimens of two freshwater fishes (Cyprinus carpio and Liza abu), honey bees (Apis mellifera) and California flies (Calliphora sp.) which were cultured / or fallen in small fish tanks of the Department of Hydrobiology at Al‐Rashidiya, north of Baghdad, Iraqi. Occurrence of the above named fungi represents their first record in C. carpio and L. abu in Iraq.
