Population parameters were estimated for goatfish (Upeneus sulphureus, Cuvier, 1829) as a small size and abundant species in the Persian Gulf ecosystem. A method of Tropfish R package based on length frequencies analysis was used. A total of 520 fish samples were taken monthly from landing stations in the coastal area of Iranian Waters in the Persian Gulf (Bushehr coasts) from January 2017 to D...

BACKGROUND The aim of this paper was to study the prevalence and intensity of Anisakids larvae in the long tail tuna fish captured from Iranian shores of Persian Gulf. METHODS Different organs including skin, abdominal cavity, stomach and intestinal contents, stomach sub serous tissues, liver, spleen, gonads and 20 grams of muscles of 100 long tail tuna fish (Thannustonggol) caught from water...

REGIONAL EXTINCTION RISK AND CONSERVATION PRIORITIES FOR PERSIAN GULF MARINE BONY FISHES Jack R. Buchanan Old Dominion University, 2016 Advisor: Dr. Kent Carpenter Around the world, protected areas are the primary conservation measure used to combat biodiversity loss; however, these are often established without comprehensive species-specific information, leading to placement in areas that ofte...

I read with much interest the article on the above subject by Captains Barber and Doyle in the March number of the Gazette. I was particularly interested in their remarks regarding the value of the first field dressing and the occurrence of tetanus in Arab and Turkish wounded prisoners. It may perhaps not be without interest to relate my small personal experience in regard to the above in anoth...

After a general introduction to the emerging field of network analysis, we will focus on the analysis of group structure in dynamic networks. By defining groups based on similarity of neighborhoods rather than local density, nodes can be associated to roles representing structural positions in a network. A recently proposed relaxation of discrete role assignment allows for varying degrees of me...

Introduction: Cadmium (CD) and lead (Pb) are widely used in the industrial and refining activities and are frequently detected in sediments. The main objectives of this research were focused on determining the concentration of Cd and Pb in the sediments of Asaluyeh and compare them with other parts of the world. Materials and Methods: The concentrations of Pb and Cd in the sediments of Nayband ...

Article History: Received: 22 Dec. 2014 Accepted: 23 Aug. 2015 This paper presents a detailed structural reliability procedure in order to achieve an acceptable safety margin for template type offshore platforms located in the Persian Gulf. Probability of failure in this study is calculated by considering the cumulative effects of all levels of wave loading during the lifetime of the structure ...
