[ 1 ] - A review on the taxonomic status and biological characteristics of the genus Carassius (Teleostei: Cyprinidae) in Iranian inland waters

The genus Carassius is a genus of the family Cyprinidae, that its species are important part of the ornamental fish industry in Iran. Due to the recent changes in the taxonomic status of the genus Carassius, it is necessary to review the taxonomic statues of its recorded populations in Iran. Therefore, the present study was conducted to provide an overview of the taxonomic status of the genus C...

[ 2 ] - Evaluation of of the performance of the zebrafish (Danio rerio) model in nanotoxicology studies with emphasis on embryo pathology

The present study was conducted to evaluate the performance of zebrafish (Danio rerio) as a model in embryo and fetal pathology in nanotoxicology studies. Examination of the sources showed that it is possible to completely inhibit hatching and fetal death when exposed to nanoparticles, because nanoparticles interact with hatching enzymes. Zebrafish embryo developmental abnormalities have been s...

[ 3 ] - Sexual dimorphism of Eastern mosquitofish (Gambusia holbrooki Girard, 1859) in Gamasiab River, Kermanshah province

Gambusia holbrooki Girard, 1859 is considered as one of the non-native and invasive species in the inland waters of Iran. This species occurs in most inland basins and aquatic bodies of Iran and has even been found in brackish waters. Extensive adaptations of this species to its different habitats caused numerous changes in its biological characteristics and morphological traits. The present st...

[ 4 ] - A review of the performance of zebrafish (Danio rerio) as a model organism in nanotoxicological research and its differences with other animal models

Today, nanotechnology is recognized as one of the leading sciences in the world, which manipulates atoms and molecules in order to produce valuable products. Extensive use of nanomaterials in various industrial sectors has increased the possibility of their diffusion in water bodies and the environment. Therefore, the study of toxicity of these substances is considered as one of the research ne...

[ 5 ] - Investigation of biological and ecological characteristics of Bluefin Notho Nothobranchius rachovii Ahl, 1926 (Cyprinodontiformes: Nothobranchiidae) as one of the freshwater aquarium fish: A review

Ornamental aquaculture is a leading and profitable industry in Iran. One of the essential needs for the development of this industry is the introduction of popular species. Therefore, it is necessary for experts and breeders of ornamental aquatics to introduce important ornamental species around the world and provide their ecological and biological characteristics, and reproduction techniques. ...
