Description:
Developing embryos of the inland silverside fish Menidia beryllina and grass shrimp Palaemonetes pugio were exposed to conidiospores of the fungal weed control agent, Colletotrichum gloeosporioides, f. sp. aeschynomene, and the entomopathogen, Metarhizium anisopliae. nly Metarhizium anisopliae caused significant (p = 0.05) mortalities in the exposed embryos. olletotrichum gloeospotioides did, however, cause fatal infections in adults when conidia were injected into the peritoneum of fish or the hemocoel of shrimp.
