[ 4 ] - Effect of hypoxia, normoxia and hyperoxia conditions on gill histopathology in two weight groups of beluga (Huso huso)

The influence of dissolved oxygen concentration on gill histopathology of great sturgeon (Huso huso) was evaluated in two weight classes (initial weight 280.9?49.2 g and 1217.9?138.1 g respectively). Oxygen treatments included hypoxia (2-3 mg/l), normoxia (5-6 mg/l) and hyperoxia (9-10 mg/l). The fish were acclimated to experimental tanks for one week then randomly distributed into 9 tanks i...

[ 5 ] - Parasites of some bonyfish species from the Boojagh wetland in the southwest shores of the Caspian Sea

In the present study, a total of 553 individuals of 8 fish species including Cyprinus carpio (n=71), Abramis bjoerkna (n=153), Carassius auratus gibelio (n=89), Esox...

[ 6 ] - The Occurrence and Intensity of Eustrongylides excisus (Nematoda; Dioctophymidae) in Some Bony Fish Species of Caspian Sea and Its Basin

The fishery of bony fishes has an economic important in southern part of Caspian Sea ,but there are few reports about the pathogens of them in this area .Eustrongylides excisus , a parasite (Nematoda: Dioctophymidae) can damage the muscles of bony fishes . So, consumers avoid to buy the infected fish. Hence , the parasite can cause economic loss.In order to determine the occurance and intensity...
