Following the fluid model for the response of electrons, it is shown that a high-power whistler wave decays efficiently into a lower hybrid or a Bernstein mode and a scattered whistler wave in a homogeneous plasma. The thresholds for these channels of stimulated scattering are generally low. However, the channel of scattering involving lower hybrid waves is possible only for scattering angles exceeding ¼π. The other channel involving Bernstein modes is possible at shorter scattering angles but the growth rate is relatively small and the threshold is high.
