Fish assemblages as influenced by environmental factors in Taleghan River (the Caspian Sea basin, Alborz Province, Iran)
The relationship between some habitat factors and fish assemblage was analyzed in the Taleghan River, Alborz Province, Iran. Fish specimens from thirty-three sites were sampled by electrofishing device in October 2014. The habitat parameters, including elevation (m), water depth (cm), river width (m), river slope (%), current velocity (m.s-1), number of large stone (> 15 cm), average stone diam...
متن کاملCommunity-wide effects of marine reserves in the Mediterranean Sea
We investigated the community-wide effects of no-take marine reserves at the regional scale in the Mediterranean Sea. Reserves had general positive effects of protection on fish targeted by fishing, and variable effects on non-target species. Differences in the structure of fish assemblages (in terms of abundance of species and trophic groups) were greater between geographic locations than when...
متن کاملLarge-Scale Assessment of Mediterranean Marine Protected Areas Effects on Fish Assemblages
Marine protected areas (MPAs) were acknowledged globally as effective tools to mitigate the threats to oceans caused by fishing. Several studies assessed the effectiveness of individual MPAs in protecting fish assemblages, but regional assessments of multiple MPAs are scarce. Moreover, empirical evidence on the role of MPAs in contrasting the propagation of non-indigenous-species (NIS) and ther...
متن کاملFirst report of a swordfish (Xiphias gladius Linnaeus, 1758) beneath open-sea farming cages in the Western Mediterranean Sea
An adult swordfish (Xiphias gladius L.) was reported for the first time at coastal Mediterranean fish-farm facilities. This record highlights the necessity to assess the potential ecological changes to wild fish assemblages caused by coastal farming activity, especially to this type of endangered large migratory fish predator, which could be taken into account in future management strategies.
متن کاملIdentifying the factors affecting the reduction of Caspian lamprey population (Caspiomyzon wagneri Kessler, 1870) in Shiroud River: The need to adopt management-protection policies
The Caspian lamprey (Caspiomyzon wagneri) is one of the most important ecological and native fish species of the Caspian Sea basin. The present study was conducted to identify the factors affecting the population decline of this species in Shiroud River as one of the important habitats of fish in the southern basin of the Caspian Sea. For this purpose, three stations were selected for sampling ...
