hemiculter leucisculus (basilewsky, 1855) and alburnus caeruleus heckel, 1843: new data on their distributions in iran

Authors
abstract

this paper provides information on the geographic distributions of two cyprinid species: hemiculter leucisculus (basilewsky, 1855) and alburnus caeruleus heckel, 1843, in the world and the entire drainage systems in iran. the new distribution records were taken from maroon river (jarrahi river system) and chardaval river (karkheh river system), both in tigris river basin showing wide and narrow distribution ranges of these two cyprinid fishes, respectively. the main introduction sites and distribution range  of h. leucisculus is the southern parts of the caspian sea basin in iran from where it has probably been translocated to other iranian basins along with exotic chinese carps. although a. caeruleus is native to tigris river basin, it had been already recorded only from gamasiab and doab rivers in 2009 in karkheh river system (tigris) and thus the present study extends its distribution range. in case of alien species, human-mediated fish introductions may increase faunal similarity among primary drainages due to a strong tendency for taxonomic homogenization caused primarily by the widespread introduction of cyprinid fishes. fish faunal homogenization might be highest in drainages (e.g. caspian sea and tigris basins) subjected to the greatest degree of disturbance associated with human settlement, infrastructure and change in land use. the provided data might be used in conservation program of freshwater fishes of iran.

بررسی شاخص‌های تولیدمثلی ماهی تیزه کولی Hemiculter leucisculus (Basilewsky, 1855) در رودخانه گرگانرود

این تحقیق جهت تعیین زیست‌شناسی تولید مثل ماهی تیزه کولی Hemiculter leucisculus در رودخانه گرگانرود انجام گردید. مجموع 36 قطعه ماهی تیزه کولی (Hemiculter leucisculus) در رودخانه گرگانرود از فروردین ماه تا تیر ماه 91 توسط دستگاه الکتروشوکر بصورت تصادفی صید و سپس با فرمالین 10 درصد تثبیت شد. بیشینه شاخص گنادوسوماتیک برای هر دو جنس در تیر ماه مشاهده شد، که مقدار آن برای نرها و ماده‌ها به ترتیب 56/2...

بررسی برخی پارامترهای رشد ماهی تیزه کولی Hemiculter Leucisculus (Basilewsky, 1855) در رودخانه گرگانرود

گونه تیزه کولی (Hemiculter leucisculus) از خانواده کپور ماهیان (Cyprinidae) و غیربومی ایران بوده و اطلاعات بسیار محدودی در مورد زیست‌شناسی آن وجود دارد. مجموع 91 قطعه ماهی تیزه کولی (H. leucisculus) در رودخانه گرگانرود از فروردین تا تیر ماه 91 توسط دستگاه الکتروشوکر بصورت تصادفی صید و سپس با فرمالین 10 درصد تثبیت گردید. نسبت جنسی نر به ماده در جمعیت مورد مطالعه 53/1 : 1 و نرها غالب بودند. بیشین...

First record of saw-belly (Hemiculter leucisculus Basilewsky, 1855) from Zarinehrud River, Urmia Lake basin and its some biological characteristics

This study aimed to the first report of Saw-belly, Hemiculter leucisculus from the Zarinehrud River and investigation of its morphometric and meristic characteristics, length-weight and length-length relationships. A total of 77 saw-belly specimens were caught on September 2013 from the Zarinehrud River. Twenty-one morphometric and 10 meristic characters were examined. The total length and weig...
