Abstract
Zoosporic fungi are common inhabitants of aquatic environments; however, there are few quantitative studies made for Argentinean streams. In this contribution, the frequency of occurrence and abundance of zoosporic fungi were quantified in three lotic environments of the Río de La Plata system, using the baiting technique. Eight genera were recovered (Achlya, Aphanomyces, Dictyuchus, Olpidiopsis, Phytophthora, Pythium, Rhizophlyctis and Saprolegnia) and their patterns of frequency and abundance distribution show certain similarities in the streams analyzed.
