Abstract:

The Caspian frisian roach (Rutilus frisii kutum), economically a very important fish species in Iran, is propagated in fishponds, reared into the rivers in fingerling size and then harvested from the Caspian Sea in adult stage. We found six monogenean parasites on the Caspian frisian roach including five Dactylogyrus spp. on fingerlings cultured in fishponds and rivers and two Dactylogyrus spp. on wild adult specimens living in Caspian Sea. With the exception of D. frisii that proved to be the most common monogenean and found a good milieu for its development both in flowing rivers and in Caspian Sea, the other parasites occurred either in Caspian Sea (D. nybelini) or in freshwater (D. haplogonus, D. rarissimus, D. suecicus, D. turaliensis). The objectives of present research work are to clear the sources of infection of Caspian frisian roach fingerlings to monogenean parasites and to recommend approaches for the improvement of pond technology in order to diminish the intensity of parasites without having to use high amounts of organophosphate insecticide in ponds.

Determination of Nitrate and Nitrite Residues in Smoked Caspian Kutum, Rutilus frisii kutum and Mullet, Liza auratus in the North of Iran

High dietary nitrate and nitrite intake may increase the risk of gastro-intestinal cancers due to the In vivo formation of carcinogenic chemicals known as N-nitroso compounds. In this study nitrate and nitrite residues in smoked Caspian kutum, Rutilus frisii kutum and mullet, liza auratus in the local markets (considered as batch no. 1, 2 and 3) of north of Iran were determined using Spectropho...

Population structure of Rutilus frisii kutum in Iranian Coastline of the Caspian Sea using microsatellite markers

Kutum is considered as one of the anadramous species of the Caspian Sea. Due to continuous population decline of the fish since 1975, Iranian fisheries organization started to restock this species. Nowadays, there is growing concern over the effects of restocking on natural populations. For this purpose, population structure and genetic variation of this species in the Iranian coastline of Casp...

Models for length back-calculation in Caspian Kutum, Rutilus kutum (Pisces: Cyprinidae) from the Caspian Sea

The Caspian Kutum, Rutilus Kutum (Kamensky 1901) specimens were sampled by purse seine in the northern Iranian coast of the Caspian Sea at four locations:  Feridoonkenar Shahed, Mahmoudabad Khoram, Lariim Azadi fishing coop, and the Shiroud River in Ramsar city. “Back-calculation” is a retrospective method of estimating the characteristics of growth of fish in terms of length and rate of growth...
