Abstract:

Carapace length frequency data of green tiger prawn, Penaeus semisulcatus, were monthly collected from 50 stations along the coastal waters of Bushehr, Persian Gulf, during January 2003 to March2004. FiSAT program was used to analysea total of 535 shrimp’s including292 females and 243 males, for the relationships of total length, weight and carapace length. The L¥ and K for males were estimated at 38mm CL and 1.6 year-1 and for the females were 50.40mmCL and 2.20 year-1, respectively. Maximum age (Tmax) was 20 months for the males and 15 months for the females. The growth of the shrimp was found to be rapid during summer and autumn and negligible during winter and spring.

Arsenic effects on growth parameters of Indian prawn, Penaeus indicus

Chronic toxicity test was conducted for 28 days with post larval stages of Penaeus indicus to arsenic for studying the changes associated with growth pattern, specifying the length, weight and condition factor. Arsenic exposures produced significant (P < 0.05) effect in terms of length, weight and deteriorated the condition factor of the test animal. Differentiation in relation between the cond...

Growth, Mortality and Stock Abundance of Venerid Bivalve, Paphia cor from Iranian Coastal Waters of Bushehr, Persian Gulf

In this study, population dynamics of venerid bivalve Paphia cor was investigated for a one-year period (2008-2009) in Bushehr shoreline areas (50˚ 40´ E- 29˚ 14´N) to estimate the stock abundance, growth parameters and natural mortality. Sampling was carried out bi-monthly by transects at random direction and zigzag pattern with duplicated quadrate (0.25 m2). The length frequency was ...
