abstract

in this survey, 54 specimens of common carp (cyprinus carpio) were collected from anzali wetland between august 2011 and july 2012. after recording biometric characteristics, routine necropsy and parasitology methods were used. totaly, 3165 individuals of parasites were isolated and identified from common carp. parasitofauna consisted of 10 species as follows: two protozoans, ichthyophthirius multifiliis and trichodina sp.; two digenean trematodes, diplostomum spathaceum and posthodiplostomum sp.; two monogenean trematodes, dactylogyrus extensus and diplozoon nipponicum; two crustaceans, lernaea cyprinacea and argulus foliaceus; one cestode, caryophyllaeus fimbriceps and one nematode, raphidascaris acus larvae. d. extensus had the highest prevalence, mean intensity, dominance and abundance. the abundance of trichodina sp. and c. fimbriceps in the age class of > 2 years old were significantly greater than that in the younger age classes. l. cyprinacea (copepodid stage) and c. fimbriceps showed the greatest abundances in summer and autumn, respectively. trichodina sp. and l. cyprinacea (copepodid stage) showed significantly greater abundances in the eastern parts of the wetland compared with abundances of other stations.

Occurrence and intensity of parasites in Prussian carp, Carassius gibelio from Anzali wetland, Southwest Caspian Sea

The aim of this study was to detect the occurrence of parasites in Prussian carp, Carassius gibelio as the most important alien fish in Anzali international wetland. This undesirable fish was introduced accidentally to Iran with Chinese carp fries which imported to the country during the last decades and then acceded to Anzali wetland. Today this fish has significant stocks in Anzali wetland bu...

Genetic analysis of wild common carp, Cyprinus carpio L. in the Anzali wetland, the Caspian Sea

The Caspian Sea and its basin (e.g. Anzali wetland) is one of the natural habitats of wild common carp Cyprinus carpio. In this study the genetic structure of this species. In the south-west of Caspian Sea (the Anzali wetland) was investigated using PCR-RFLP analysis of D-loop region. Two hundred of mature fish were collected from 5 stations (40 individuals from each station) including Siahkesh...

Fecundity of wild common carp, Cyprinus carpio, in Anzali Wetland

This study was done on wild common carp and main aims were determination of relationships between fecundity and the fish weight, length and age. One hundred individuals of pre-spawning females with a body weight 285.1-5483 g, total length 27.9-67.1 cm and age 4-12 years old, were sampled in Anzali wetland in 2016 and 2017. A mix subsample was sampled of eggs from front, middle and back parts of...
