Spatial and Temporal Distribution of Zooplankton Biomass in the Northeast Persian Gulf
Authors
Abstract:
The zooplankton biomass and distribution were studied during two oceanographic cruises in NE part of the Persian Gulf in autumn 2012 (November) and summer 2013 (August) with 300 μmmesh net. Zooplankton samples were analyzed for biomass content. Zooplankton biomass expressed as mg m-3 dry wt., was greatest during summer cruise (mean of 18.8 ± 4.6 mg m-3 dry wt.). The mean zooplankton biomass during summer cruise was slightly higher than autumn cruise (mean of 16.2 ± 1.7 mg m-3 dry wt.). Higher zooplankton biomass values (mean of 127.7 mg m-3 dry wt.) occurred in the central part of the Persian Gulf, between NW of Kish and Hendourabi Islands. Zooplankton biomass was not higher in near-coastal waters than in the offshore. Zooplankton biomass was not spatially and temporally significant (p>0.05).

Biomass and CPUA Estimation and Distribution Pattern of Saurida tumbil from Northwest of the Persian Gulf
This paper reports on the results of a trawls survey in 2011 to assess the amount of biomass and Catch Per Unit of Area (CPUA) as well as to determine the distribution pattern of Synodontidae family of demersal fishes (with emphasize on great lizardfish, Saurida tumbil) as one of the most important and commercial fish species in the northwest of the Persian Gulf. Samples were collected fr...

Samples of Zooplankton of Bardestan Creek and its offshore waters were collected using a 100 cm long (30 cm diam.) mesh net of a 110 µm pore size in March (winter) and August, 2014 (summer) on a fishing boat; preserved in 5% formalin, identified and population abundances per cubic meter counted. Eighteen stations (9 stations each in the creek and offshore waters) were sampled. |Mean zoopl...

Fish sardines play a key role in the primary chain of production in the sea, and unknowing harvesting of them causes irreparable damage to the marine ecosystem. Also, genetic studies can help preserve biodiversity and take steps to protect the reserves. In this research, the population dynamic of the Amblygaster sirm and it,s the maximum sustainable yield (MSY) were surveyed and calculated and ...

The spatial and temporal variations of finfish bycatch assemblage cutlassfish trawl were compared in two fishing areas (Hormozgan and Bushehr). Data were collected on board of commercial vessels in the fishing grounds of Trichiurus lepturus in Bushehr and Hormozgan marine waters between early May 2010 to late November, 2010. There was a significant difference in the bycatch assemblages bet...

Copepods are the main zooplankton assemblages in most tropical and semi-tropical estuaries. In this research, copepod population dynamics were investigated in Helleh River estuary, Persian Gulf during four seasons beginning from summer 2011 to spring 2012. Samples were taken using plankton net with mesh size of 140 µm and vertical towing from 5 fixed-stations in mid-season. Results showed that...
