Long-term survey on wild and cultured mussels

A Comparison of Morphological Traits in Three Ornamental Species of Cyclamen, Primula and Viola in Nature (Forest Lands) with Their Cultured Samples in West Mazandaran Province

The attitude of policymakers and designers of green space is increasing toward to native-ornamental species to plant in the urban space because of their adaptation and resistance against severe weather and ecological conditions which can result in cost minimization and long-term survival in green spaces. Hence, the current study was carried out in the west of Mazandaran Province on three wild a...

Effect of field exposure to 38-year-old residual petroleum hydrocarbons on growth, condition index, and filtration rate of the ribbed mussel, Geukensia demissa.

In September 1969, the Florida barge spilled 700,000 L of No. 2 fuel oil into the salt marsh sediments of Wild Harbor, MA. Today a substantial amount, approximately 100 kg, of moderately degraded petroleum remains within the sediment and along eroding creek banks. The ribbed mussels, Geukensia demissa, which inhabit the salt marsh creek bank, are exposed to the spilled oil. Examination of short...

Long Term Monitoring of Persistent Organic Pollutants (pops) in Wild and Rope Grown Blue Mussels (mytilius Edulis) from Scottish Coastal Waters

Spermatological parameters of wild and cultured beluga (Huso huso Linnaeus, 1758) and their effects on fertilization rate, hatching rate, larval growth and survival rates

To compare the reproductive performance of the wild and cultured stocks of beluga, Huso huso males, some spermatological parameters were measured including: sperm motility, sperm density, spermatocrit and also fertilization rate, hatching rate and larval growth and survival rates. The semen samples were sampled from 11 wild spawners and 12 cultured brooders. A half of each semen sample was allo...

Effect of successive milt collection on sperm quality and reproduction of wild and cultured endangered caspian brown trout, Salmo trutta

In the present study, the effect of successive milt collection was investigated on spermatological parameters and reproduction successes of wild and cultured endangered caspian brown trout. The milt collection was done 3 times with two weeks intervals. After milt collection, amount of milt was allocated for milt quality evaluation and reminders used for fertilization. According to results, in w...
