Exophiala pisciphila is a dematiaceous fungus that belongs to a group of fungi known as the 'black yeasts'. It was isolated from the skin lesions of a smooth dogfish, Mustelus canis Mitchill, that had been born in the shark exhibit tank of the New York Aquarium. The different stages of development of this fungus were studied by light microscopy and scanning electron microscopy to illustrate the morphology and surface structures of conidia and mycelium. The list of marine and fresh water fish, which have been infected by Exophiala spp. and Exophiala-like fungi has been up-dated. Potato Dextrose Agar and Malt Agar proved to be the best growth media, while Corn Meal Agar proved to be the best medium for studying the morphological features of the conidia and mycelial development of E. pisciphila, which exhibited polymorphic conidiogenesis.
嗜鱼外瓶霉是一种暗色真菌，属于被称为“黑酵母”的一类真菌。它是从一条出生于纽约水族馆鲨鱼展示池的平滑狗鲨（Mustelus canis Mitchill）的皮肤损伤处分离得到的。通过光学显微镜和扫描电子显微镜研究了这种真菌的不同发育阶段，以阐明分生孢子和菌丝体的形态及表面结构。已更新了感染外瓶霉属和外瓶霉样真菌的海洋和淡水鱼类清单。马铃薯葡萄糖琼脂和麦芽琼脂被证明是最佳生长培养基，而玉米粉琼脂被证明是研究嗜鱼外瓶霉分生孢子形态特征和菌丝体发育的最佳培养基，嗜鱼外瓶霉表现出多形性分生孢子形成。
