[ 1 ] - Ecological assessment of Hormozgan creeks (Khamir, Tiyab and Jagin) using AMBI biotic index

This study aimed to assess the ecological status of Khamir, Tiyab and Jagin creeks and the impact of human activities on the studied ecosystems using AMBI biological indicator. During the study period, 165 macro-benthos taxa belong to seven phyla including Annelids (65 taxa), Mollusca (65 taxa), Arthropods (28 taxa), Echinoderms (3 taxa), Hydrozoans (2 taxa), Nemertea (1 taxon) and Nematoda (1 ...

[ 2 ] - Histopathological response of hepatopancreas and gill in Metopograpsus messor crab exposed to cadmium pollutants

In recent years, monitoring the amount of pollutants in aquatic ecosystems by quantity measures in water, sediment and fish tissue has shifted to the quality measures of pollutant effects on aquatic animals and assessment of aquatic animal health and, ultimately, the ecosystem. This research performed on three replicates has examined the histopathological response of hepatopancreas and gill in ...

[ 3 ] - A new ecotoxicity tolerance index of macrobenthos associated with Zoanthus sansibaricus in the littoral zone of Hormuz Island, Persian Gulf, Iran

A general study with the objective to classify ecotoxicity status of macrobenthose associated with dominant toxic zoanthids in Hormuz Island is presented. Hence, a novel model based on hard bottom macrobenthos and the related substrate composition was suggested to be used for testing the accumulated palytoxin (PTX) in macrobenthose exposed to Zoanthus sansibaricus. Direct and rapid assessment i...
