[ 1 ] - Organic Carbon and Organic Matter Levels in Sediments of the Strait of Hormoz, the Persian Gulf

Total organic carbon has a major influence on both the chemical and biological processesthat take place in sediments. Algal bloom is one of the organic carbon levels in aquatic ecosystems. In 2009 algal bloom occurred in the Hormozgan province and prolonged for months, which finally setteled down in 2010. In this study the variations of total organic carbon (TOC), organic matter (TOM) and tot...

[ 2 ] - A Survey on the Accumulation of Trace Metals in Local Fishermen Hair from the Northern Persian Gulf

The concentrations of trace metals in hair of fishermen from the Persian Gulf region were assessed todetect the relationships between element levels in hair and potential factors influencing these relationships.The hair of 19 fishermen were sampled from six stations in the Persian Gulf (Nirogah, Dayyer, Lengeh and Bandar Abbas in Khuzestan, Bushehr and Hormozgan provincesanalyzed by Inductively...

[ 3 ] - Trace Metals Analysis in the Sediments of the Southern Caspian Sea

In this study, concentration of 17 elements, including As, Ba, Cd, Co, Cu, Hg, Mn, Ni, Pb, Zn, Ca,Fe, Mg, Na, P, S, Si, as well as methylmercury in 31 surface sediments were assessed. The sampling stations were Gulf of Golestan, Miankale Island, Babolsar, Nowshahr and Anzali, which represented the most important harbors in the Golestan, Mazandaran and Gilan provinces in the southern parts of th...

[ 4 ] - پراکنش رده‌های بی‌مهرگان کفزی در منطقه‌ی زیر جزر و مدی خلیج چابهار و آب‌های اطراف با تأکید بر تأثیر عوامل محیطی

به‌منظور تعیین پراکنش رده‌های بی‌مهرگان کفزی در منطقه‌ی زیر جزر و مدی خلیج چابهار و آب‌های اطراف، از نمونه‌های بی‌مهره طی دو مرحله در ماه‌های اردیبهشت و آذر 1391 نمونه‌برداری شد. نمونه‌برداری از 9 ایستگاه از منطقه‌ی پزم تا رمین با استفاده از گرب ون وین 250 سانتی‌متر مربعی صورت گرفت. نمونه‌های به‌دست آمده به‌طور عمده به 7 گروه دوکفه‌ای‌ها، شکم پایان، ناوپایان، پرتاران، خارداران، مارسانان و سخت‌پ...
