Abstract:

This study carried out to investigate the fluctuation of benthic population in cages of rearing trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss, Walbaum, 1792) in depths of 30-25m of southern part of Caspian Sea at Nashtaroud region of Mazandaran province, This study was performed 150 days with measuring and evaluating physico-chmical factors of water during 5 phases up to the end of rearing period .Samples collected by Ekman Grab was 3 replicates in and out of cages, monthly. In order to investigate population of benthic, some indices such as Shanon-wiver,Simpson and Margalof are used to determine diversity dominance and enriching of species. Totally, 200 specimen of invertebrates (g/m2) belonging to 3 families Bivalvia Molluscas, polychaeta worms and Crustacea collected. The maximum and minimum biomass belongs to Abra ovata 49.2 gm-2 and species like Nereis diversicolor, Balanus improvises and Mytilaster lineatus 1gm-2 respectively. The results of study on organic material showed significant differences in the stations, so that highest was seen in west of cages and the lowest seen inside the cages (P<0.05). There is significant correlation between density and biomass of benthic and percent of mud in the bottom (P<0.05). The results showed positive correlation between Shannon diversity index and biomass of benthic (p=0.001; r= 0.684). Results showed that although after the introduction of salmon cage rearing larvae statistically significant difference was observed in the diversity and density benthoses (P<0.05),but the changes in the diversity of macrobenthose have been very little and partial in the established rearing cages. According to ecological of Classification was done educational platforms studied were placed in stressful and polluted.

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...

Investigation of somatic and gonadal growth of female rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) reared in cage in the Caspian Sea

The aim of the present study is to investigate the growth performance and sexual maturation process of female rainbow trout reared in a cage in the Caspian Sea (Mazandaran- Nowshahr). Rainbow trout with an average weight of 122± 5 g were stocked into a cage located in Caspian Sea. Fish were fed daily and random sampling was done monthly (January 2015) to May 2016. Weight and length of thirty fi...

Rainbow Trout, Oncorhynchus mykiss

Rainbow trout are classified as Oncorhynchus mykiss, and as such belong to the same genus as Pacific salmon, and to the family Salmonidae, which includes Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar), various trout (Salvelinus sp.), Arctic char (Salvelinus alpinus), Arctic grayling (Thymallus arcticus) and whitefish (Coregonus sp.). Rainbow trout are native to areas around the North Pacific Ocean, from souther...

Preliminary studies on the impact of fish cage culture rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) on zooplankton structure in the southwestern Caspian Sea

The ecosystem of the Caspian Sea have been strikingly changed by human activities. This area has undergone significant ecological alterations and serious environmental degradation since the beginning of 1990s. The impact of fish cage culture on the zooplankton community was studied in the southwestern Caspian Sea, off Jafrud during January to April 2013. A total of 12 zooplankton belonging to 9...
