[ 1 ] - The possibility of occurrence of the phenomenon “fishing down marine food webs” in the coastal waters of Hormozgan Province (north of the Persian Gulf and Oman Sea)

We examined the temporal trend in mean trophic level (mTL), trophic category landing (TrC) and landing profile (LP) of the exploited marine community (49 species) in the fishing zone of Hormozgan (north of Persian Gulf and Oman Sea) from 2001 to 2011. LP had an increasing trend (r = 0.88, P<0.001), whereas, mTL of the landings showed a significant decrease from 2001 to 2011 (r = -0.69, P<0.05)....

[ 2 ] - Identification the relationship between the environmental parameters with the the structure of macrobentic communities in a coastal ecosystem under human activities Nayband Bay (north of Persian Gulf)

This investigation was carried out to study the effect of probable contaminants existing in the Southern Pars region on density and species richness of macrobentic communities under tidal area in Nayband Bay and to determine the environmental parameters caused by human activities which influence the Benthic communities of this region. Three stations were selected that were different in terms of...

[ 3 ] - Ecological risk assessment using heavy metals from surface sediments of Nayband Bay and Asaluyeh region (Northern Persian Gulf)

The toxicity of heavy metals in sediments of the Nayband Bay and Asaluyeh region and potential ecological risk to sediment organisms assessed. Three stations with different degrees of vulnerability of South Pars Oil and Gas Activities (1: Control - 2: medium affected and 3: severely affected) were selected in the study area. Sediment sampling at each station in both cold and hot seasons (2010) ...
