Abstract:

This paper reports on the karyotyping of mullet fish species, Liza klunzingeri, endemic of the Persian Gulf. The metaphase chromosome spreads, obtained from kidney cells of 13 specimens were examined. The diploid chromosome number was found to be 2n=48. The karyotype was discovered to be consisted of 48 acrocentric chromosome pairs. The arm number was determined to be NF=48. The chromosome number observed in this fish is the same as the majority of Mugil fish, thus confirming the commonality of this feature in the family.

Preliminary observations on the plasma composition of liza klunzingeri from the strait of Hormuz (Persian gulf)

Serum biochemistry can be used for monitoring changes in the physiological condition of fish and water quality. The aim of this paper was to determine the concentrations of plasma T3 (Thyroid hormone), thyroxin, TSH (Thyroid-stimulating hormone), ALT (Alanine Aminotransferase), AST (Aspartate aminotransferase) and cholesterol of Liza klunzingeri caught on the northern side of the strait of Horm...

Reproduction of Klunzinger Mullet, Liza klunzingeri , in coastal waters of Khuzestan Province (Persian Gulf)

Some reproduction characteristics of keeled mullet, Liza klunzingeri, were studied during Apr. 2003 to Feb. 2004 in Khuzestan waters of the Persian Gulf. A total of 836 samples were monthly collected from two fish landings of Bahrekan and Hendijan; 727 specimens were studied from point of sex determination, and 60 specimens were studied from the fecundity point of view. This species was found t...

Female Reproductive Biology of the Klunzinger\'s Mullet (Liza klunzingeri) in the Persian Gulf and the Oman Sea

Histological changes and maturity stages during the reproductive cycle of the ovaries of Klunzinger's Mullet (Liza klunzingeri) were investigated. The evaluation of the spawning season was carried out based on monthly samples from 3 stations in the Persian Gulf and the Oman Sea. Sex ratio was approximately 1:3 (M: F). The maturity stages of female L. Kluningeri are: Virgin, Developing Virgin, D...

Genetic Diversity and Population Structure of Liza klunzingeri from the Northern Persian Gulf Based on AFLP Analysis

The main purpose of this study was to investigate the genetic diversity and population structure of Liza klunzingeri in two regions of the Persian Gulf. In this study, the amplified fragment length polymorphism (AFLP) was employed to analyze population genetic diversity between two populations (Ziyarat & Hendijan). Seven primer combinations (E-AAG/M-CTA, E-ACT/ M-CAA, E-ACT/ M-CTA, E-AAG/M-CTG,...
