Abstract:

Measuring salinity of water at different depths along six transacts at the mouth of the wetland and along five tributaries connecting the wetland to the sea the extent of Caspian Sea penetration into Anzali Wetland was determined. The results demonstrated a depth-dependent salinity gradient extending up to 10 kilometres into the wetland. A pattern of saltwater and freshwater interface is presented and the role of this interface in enhancing sedimentation is discussed.

The mammals of Anzali Wetland, in the Southern Caspian Sea

Anzali Wetland as a listed habitat in Montreux Record, was investigated for the mammal fauna during Jan. 2015 - Jan. 2016. About 165 km of water bodies and 200 km around Anzali Wetland were patrolled, respectively. By applying different methods, such as direct observation, different signs recording, using different sampling traps, nets and camera traps, twenty mammal species were identified fro...

Genetic analysis of wild common carp, Cyprinus carpio L. in the Anzali wetland, the Caspian Sea

The Caspian Sea and its basin (e.g. Anzali wetland) is one of the natural habitats of wild common carp Cyprinus carpio. In this study the genetic structure of this species. In the south-west of Caspian Sea (the Anzali wetland) was investigated using PCR-RFLP analysis of D-loop region. Two hundred of mature fish were collected from 5 stations (40 individuals from each station) including Siahkesh...

The dietary pattern of Caspian bighead goby, Ponticola gorlap (Ilgin, 1949) in Anzali wetland

This study was conducted to investigate the dietary habits of Caspian bighead goby (Ponticola gorlap) in Anzali wetland. For this purpose, 70 goby were collected from four stations in different parts of Anzali Wetland by cone nets (fyke net) during December 2014 to April 2015. The contents of the gastrointestinal tract were examined using the occurrence method of Numerical methods. Condition fa...

Occurrence and intensity of parasites in Prussian carp, Carassius gibelio from Anzali wetland, Southwest Caspian Sea

The aim of this study was to detect the occurrence of parasites in Prussian carp, Carassius gibelio as the most important alien fish in Anzali international wetland. This undesirable fish was introduced accidentally to Iran with Chinese carp fries which imported to the country during the last decades and then acceded to Anzali wetland. Today this fish has significant stocks in Anzali wetland bu...
