Lake Habitat: Acres of “Prime” Fish Habitat

PCB concentrations in lake trout (Salvelinus namaycush) are correlated to habitat use and lake characteristics.

This study considers the importance of lake trout habitat as a factor determining persistent organochlorine (OC) concentration. Lake trout is a stenothermal, cold water species and sensitive to hypoxia. Thus, factors such as lake depth, thermal stratification, and phosphorus enrichment may determine not only which lakes can support lake trout but may also influence among-lake variability in lak...

Assessment of Carson Trophic Index in Dam Lake: a Case Study of Ekbatan Dam

Background and purpose: The study aimed to investigate the trophic state of Ekbatan Dam Lake. In the current research, the quality of water behind the dam was studied during the months July and January in order to compare the trophic state and zonation of the reservoir in two different seasons (dry and wet). Materials and Methods: 15 sites were selected in different points of Ekbatan Dam Lak...

This study conducted to study some biological traits of Carassius gibelio in Golestan dam and Voshmgir dam  from February to September 2015. During the study, 247 specimens from Golestan dam and 208 specimens from Voshmgir dam were sampled using small beach seine. The sex ratio of fish caught from Golestan dam to 1:10/23 and  the sex ratio of fish caught from the dam Voshmgir1: 10/56. The highe...
