许多描述鱼ophonus sp.生命阶段和结构的术语可以追溯到这种生物作为真菌的错误分类。这种错误的识别导致早期的研究人员使用真菌学术语来描述他们观察到的结构；虽然有些术语不那么容易解释，但它似乎是从植物学和细菌学领域借鉴来的。这项工作的目的是试图规范与鱼香虫相关的术语，并使其与目前用于定义其他原生生物类似生命阶段的术语一致。建议的变化是：(1)孢子/大孢子/母孢子为“分裂体”，(2)小孢子/内孢子为“裂殖子”，(3)假菌丝为“菌丝”或“胚管”。
Much of the terminology describing Ichthyophonus sp. life stages and structures can be traced to the mistaken classification of this organism as a fungus. This misidentification led early investigators to use mycological terms for the structures they observed; while some terminology is not so easily explained, it appears to have been co-opted from the fields of botany and bacteriology. The purpose of this exercise is to attempt to standardize the terminology associated with Ichthyophonus and to bring it into agreement with terminology currently used to define similar life stages of other protists. The proposed changes are (1) spore/macrospore/mother spore to "schizont,'' (2) microspore/endospore to "merozoite,'' and (3) pseudohyphae to "hyphae'' or "germ tube.''
