Short communication: Determination of total mercury in common carp, Cyprinus carpio, large scaled barb, Barbus grypus, tiger tooth croaker, Otolithes ruber and from surface waters in Khuzestan, Iran

The common carp (Cyprinus carpio) belongs to the family Cyprinidae. In nature, carp live in the middle or lower reaches of a river with slow currents, or in marshes. Their habitats are usually weedy areas with a muddy bottom. Carp fry feed on zooplankton such as rotifers and copepods, but as they grow up they become benthic feeders, feeding on animals and other organic material. The cyprinids h...

Yield and Biomass-per-recruit Analysis of Tiger Tooth Croaker (Otolithes ruber) in the Northwest of the Persian Gulf

Effects of age at first capture (tc) and fishing (F) as well as natural mortalities (M) on yield and biomass-per-recruit of tiger tooth croacker, Otolithes ruber were evaluated in the northwest of the Persian Gulf using the Beverton-Holt model. The yield-per-recruit (Y/R) was 175 (g/r), which was less than maximum yield-per-recruit value (217 (g/r)) at fishing mortality of 1 year-1. Current ...
