Ichthyophonus is a genus of unicellular eukaryotic parasites of fish. They were once considered to be fungi, but phylogenetic evidence suggests they are protists related to both fungi and animals.[2][3]
Species
- I. gasterophilus (Caullery & Mesnil 1905) Sprague 1965
- I. hoferi Plehn & Mulsow 1911
- I. intestinalis Léger & Hesse 1923
