Abstract:

Abstract This study was conducted to investigate the possibility of population forming of Oncorhynchus mykiss in competition with Salmo caspius on the southern shores of the Caspian Sea in Mazandaran province, Iran.  One hundred fish specimens were collected seasonally from commercial purse seine from October 2017 to April 2018. Brown trout diet was analyzed and a total of 90 individuals belonging to 12 taxa (groups) were identified. Except for algae which were general prey, the other food items in the diet were rare for rainbow trout. Atherina caspia and Clupeonella cultriventris were the other prey items, accordingly.  Analysis of the brown trout diet, a total number of 2 taxa were identified summing a total of 10 individuals. The Atherina caspia for brown trout was a specialty food and the most important A% and FO% found in the diet of its had. Although the feeding habits were both carnivorous and used more than fish as food prey, but rainbow trout fed a wide range of food items. Therefore, in the competition between two species, Oncorhynchus mykiss is more successful, and under adverse habitat conditions it is possible to remove Salmo caspius. In some rainbow trout caught, all stages of sexually transmitted infections (II to V) were observed, of which stages 4 and 5 had the lowest number. Escaped farmed salmon are able to spawn successfully in rivers.

Growth Parameters of Rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) escaped from sea cages in the coast of southern Caspian sea

Rainbow trout is one of the 100 exotic invasive species in the world, and the biological characteristics of evaporated specimens of marine cages on the coast of Mazandaran including sex ratio, length and weight relationship, and growth are necessary. In order to study the rainbow trout growth parameters, 90 specimens of this species were collected from October 2017 to May 2019 from catching bon...

An experimental study to evaluate pathogenicity of Yersinia ruckeri isolated from rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) in Caspian trout (Salmo caspius)

The main objective of this study was to evaluate the pathogenicity of isolated   Yersinia ruckeri  from Caspian trout. Y. ruckeri specimens were isolated from infected rainbow trout farms located in north of Iran. The identification was confirmed by biochemical tests and 16s rRNA gene sequencing. The pathogenicity test was carried out to determine the virulence of the Y. ruckeri by IP injection...

Identification Caspian salmon Salmo caspius (Kessler, 1877) and rainbow trout Oncorhynchus mykiss (Walbaum, 1792) by extracting DNA from water (eDNA)

  Proof of species existence in different regions can be useful for studying the migration pattern of the species. The use of non-invasive methods such as eDNA can be very effective in tracking and dispersing and improving the management of water resources and species. In this study, 15 water samples were taken from different areas of the southern Caspian Sea basin. Amino-modified silica-coate...

Investigating the effects of photoperiod on growth performance and sextual maturation of Caspian trout (Salmo trutta caspius)

Photoperiod is one of the very important environmental factors that extremely affect growth performance, feeding and reproduction of various fish species. Thus In this research effects of different photoperiod regimes on Caspian Salmon during the premature stage (18 months old at the beginning of experiment) were investigated. One thousand liter tank with 20 premature fishs were allocated for e...
