Abstract
The aim was to research the stampering of growth of fungi infestation in small rivers and oceans. A common species of this organism is ectomycorrhizal found on fruit bodies. These were examined using emission microscopy. This was inhabited by fresh water creatures and lifeforms. The objective was to increase deman with sustainable alternatives. The fungi were considered as a parasite to wild life. Microscopy when the follicle diameter was ≥ 1.02 mm using chloroform in relation to sodium chloride. This improved the breeding of sea going creatures. The competitors of these fungi were filamentous fungi which is the byproduct of depletion of organic matter of fungi growth. The sodium produced larvae of values of 1, 5, 10 and the chloroform acted as a reservoir of 2 and 3 growths. The time taken for addition of the treatment was a few days for spore production.

Introduction
The chloroform has co-occurring properties. It ensures survival
of sea going in non-salty riverine. Larvae of insects are considered
competitors to filamentous fungi. These parasites counteract the
development. Sodium chloride knows as salt does not cover well
the hyphal fungi organisms [1-6]. These had a negative effect on
the number of larvae. Chloroform was more readily absorbed
by the filamentous fungi. Sodium chloride has a minor effect
on fungi growth with 1, 5 and 10 larvae reductions of growth.
Chloroform increased the larvae with a selective priority growth
of larvae. The rivers and canals during this research were observed
for 12 days to ascertain the performance of fungi treatment [7-12].
Materials and Methods
A pine-oak forest with rivers and canals passing on its shores,
this had a high biodiversity. This report was based on a field
study of 12 days. To understand the status of the remnant of
the sea going creatures [13-17]. The growth of fungi was analyzed
using spectrometer and microscopy. This was used for obtaining
topographic measurements. The objective was prevention of
desalination of the rivers and canals [18-24]. Mass spectroscopy
was used to obtain the challenges in the fungi reduction for larva
growth for seagoing creatures (Tables 1 and 2).

Assessment and measures
A bioreactor was used to store samples of rivers and canals for each treatment. This was designed for algae growth. The samples were
taken to ensure nutrients were not counteracting eutrophication
[25]. The number of representative samples was n≈1000 in as
many paths of the pine-oak forests.
Surface tension
The chloroform and sodium chloride were added to the samples
in the bioreactor. A microscope was used to observe the physical
activity. The survival rate was measured according to upper and
lower limit of 2-6 on a scale of 1 to 10. The quality of life between
7-12 on a scale of 1 to 20. When the survival rate was high the surface tension was low whereas when the quality of life was high
the surface tension was high. This was a quantitative assessment
of the reactions occurring in the bioreactor [26].
Pearson χ2 test
This was used to indicate a linear trend. To assess the statistical
significance of the measured results. The logistic models
indicated the survival rate and quality of life of the samples
after chloroform and sodium chloride treatment. These two
variables had more than two categories. The effect showed the
modifications and interactions for Probability values, P<0.05
were significant [27,28].
Fungi density
The percentage of sediments in the samples in the bioreactor was
used to ascertain the depletion of fungal growth. The bulk density
in chloroform pretreatment was normal between 20-25 kg/m2.
The density of sodium chloride was low less than 30 kg/m2 [29- 32]. The interaction between these three factors were analysed
and associations were considered non-significant at P=0.15.
Results
The results of the multivariate analysis were shown in Table
3 for both sodium chloride and chloroform treatment. The
survival rate was written as a ratio. For sodium chloride it was
1.53 and for chloroform it was 1.72. The quality of life was
written as a ration for sodium chloride it was between 1.22-1.93
and chloroform it was between 1.39-2.14. These were the pre-
treatment values [33-38]. The post-treatment yielded different
values due to disassociation of the fungal growth. The survival
rate for sodium chloride was 1.36 and quality of life was 1.03-
1.80. The chloroform survival rate was 1.90 and quality of life
was 1.63-2.22. Thus was statistically higher for the larvae growth
[39-41].

The fungal density for sodium chloride pretreatment was
nominal 1.53 and posttreatment nominal was 1.71. The fungal density changed during the 12 day time for sodium chloride
was between 1.25 -1.88 for pre-treatment and 1.37-2.13 for post-
treatment. For chloroform was between the chloroform density
nominal was pretreatment was 1.64 and post treatment 1.61 of
the bioreactor. The fungal density changed during the 12 day
time for pre-treatment was between 1.31-2.04 and posttreatment
between 1.39 -1.86 [41-45].
Discussion
The purpose of the study was to estimate quantitatively the
prevalence of fungi growth using the treatments. This was a
survey of a pretreatment initial process and a comprehensive
posttreatment of the rivers and canals. The previous research
estimated the activity had not been representative of population
of an entire geographical region due to local approach [46- 49]. The population of the treatment had sample averages and
unequal variances. The pearson χ2 test was used to evaluate the
depth of fungal depletion before replenishment (Table 4).

Table 4: Pearson χ2 test of the post-treatment
There was a prevalence of the sedimentation of the sodium
chloride for fungal growth initially. This had a percentage effect
between 54.5 to 71% and the chloroform had a greater difference
between 43.3 to 87.8% [49-52] (Figure 1).
Figure 1: Statistical significance used for the post-treatment process. Note:
The statistical significance graph shows the first 6 days both
the sodium chloride and chloroform performed well in fungi
treatment. After this the chloroform had a more lasting effect
with the greatest 9 days from treatment (Table 5).

Table 5: Pearson χ2 test of the pre-treatment
The activity was about 23% increase from the pretreatment of the
fungal growth [52-58]. The application of the measures to estimate
the activity obtained a large difference in sodium chloride and
chloroform of the bioreactor samples (Figure 2).
Figure 2: Statistical significance of pretreatment initially of the fungi. Note:
The degree of change for the sodium chloride for larvae growth
was 6 whereas for chloroform it was 8. Therefore the depletion
used in activities involved larvae ≥ 2. The reactions were not
observed until this value [58-65].
Conclusion
It can be concluded the prevalence of fungi was especially
high among the sodium chloride treatment. The chloroform
showed similar trends in the first 6 days. This was used to
assess the prevalence. The P-vales for the Pearson χ2 had a linear trend 0.21676825- 1.812461123; **P=0.43353649-
2.22813885;***P<0.5. Therefore, the results were significant for
the research. This project was financially supported by Gaiasce
