The specific literature presents updated preoccupations regarding the i<strong>de</strong>ntificationd<br />

and classification of different Saprolegnia species and subspecies, saprophytic and<br />

conditioned pathogenic at different fish species. This fact indicates that there is not sufficient<br />

the strain morphologic strict i<strong>de</strong>ntification, but there is nee<strong>de</strong>d a molecular additional<br />

characterization regarding DNA structure, which could permit a correct i<strong>de</strong>ntification and<br />

the establishing of genetic distances between Saprolegnia populations and subpopulations.<br />

This fact is necessary because the technological losses in fish industry, raported at<br />

international and national level, caused by saprolegniasis, which are affecting the fish<br />

<strong>de</strong>velopment from spawn, larva, alevin, young fish and adults, are reaching up to 50% from<br />

production, which has a negative impact on the fisheries economical and financial situation.<br />

Starting from those consi<strong>de</strong>rations, by the research hypothesis we proposed the<br />

morphologic and molecular i<strong>de</strong>ntification and <strong>de</strong>scription, using DNA samples, of<br />

Saprolegnia species and subspecies, which are affecting carp species populations from<br />

centern and north-western romanian fisheries. In Romania there haven’t been ma<strong>de</strong> any<br />

genetic studies on Saprolegnia species and subspecies, which affect carp species, and which<br />

could be the starting point in the future for DNA vaccination technology, at reproduction<br />

individuals. The study of Saprolegnia local isolates will have an obvious contribution at the<br />

<strong>de</strong>velopment of the disease control strategies.<br />

The research objectives were the following:<br />

1. The establishing of experimental plan and protocole;<br />

2. The optimization of Saprolegnia culture methods;<br />

3. The optimization of Saprolegnia DNA extraction and amplification methods;<br />

4. The testing of different restriction enzymes using PCR-RFLP technique;<br />

5. The establishing of genetic distances between i<strong>de</strong>ntified species from Saprolegniaceae<br />

family;<br />

6. The monitor of saprolegniasis inci<strong>de</strong>nce at carp species from centern and northwestern<br />

part of Romania.<br />
