Salmon, on August 8, 1992, at the annual meeting of the Mycological Society of America. The symposium was organized by Howard C. Whisler and funded by the Bonneville Power Administration. This is the first international conference on salmon saprolegniasis in this century. The symposium provided a unique opportunity for an international group of scientists to share their ideas directly with others across discipline boundries. The symposium resulted in a state of the art picture of this disease of salmonid fishes. The symposium was composed of four parts. The first characterized the problem of saprolegniasis from historical, taxonomic,and salmonid physiology perspectives. Pathogenicity and control measures were the subject of the second and third parts respectively. While all authors presented new findings or ideas pertinent to their geographical region, the fourth part of the conference emphasized current regional research. This symposium volume is organized in the order the talks were presented, but, with an additional part. The informal gatherings of the symposium participants included discussions of what research was needed in the field. It seems appropriate that this list of needed research be included in the volume. The usefulness of a comprehensive bibliography was also recognized. Since Gil Hughes had the bibliography in preparation it was decided that each of the authors would submit citations to him and the finished product included in the volume. One of the symposium participants chose not to submit a manuscript, however, the abstract of the talk has been included. The manuscripts have been included in the volume with only minimal editing. The skill and style of each author’s presentation have been retained in the hopes of giving the reader a slight sense of the spirit of the symposium. I would like to thank Ms. Mary Piper, Ms. Rene Fester and Ms. Dan-Lu Zhang for their help in ensuring that the conference proceeded smoothly. Ms. M. Kay Suiter deserves special thanks for her efforts in bringing the manuscripts together into a single format suitable for submission as a single volume. George J.

Hughes2 “What is the Salmon Disease? However absurd it may seem to start with a question to which an answer might readily be given, on the faith of a lamentable experience, by a host of individuals, yet it is always advisable to proceed in matters of this kind from some common ground as a starting point.” Mordecai Cubitt Cooke, 1880 ‘This paper is dedicated to the memory of Prof. A.W. Ziegler, who introduced me to the Saprolegniaceae and to the idea that studying aquatic fungi could be fun as well as scientifically rewarding. 2Departments of Botany and Oceanography, University of British Columbia, Vancouver, British Columbia, CANADA, V6T, 1Z4 3 4 HUGHES ABSTRACT Over 240 years ago Arderon (1748) first figured what was undoubtedly a saprolegniasis of Roach and more than 100 years ago the notorious “Salmon disease” of English and Scottish rivers (1880-82) attracted much attention from biologists, sportsmen, and fishermen alike. Investigations of “Salmon disease” left no doubt that species of Saprolegniaceae are commonly associated with salmonid fish in nature and might well be important pathogens of these commercially important animals. Despite the years involved and numerous studies of water molds by mycologists, it remains paradoxical that we still know so little of the true nature of fungal-salmonid associations. Even today, we
