The growth of Brycinus longipinnis caught at Aghien Lagoon was studied between June 2014 and May 2015 through type, condition factor parameters according to the Von Bertalanffy model. Sampling conducted using experimental fisheries. Growth type determined from length-weight relationship model FiSAT software. negative allometric (b = 2.59). population grows faster towards asymptotic length ((L∞ ...

MOTIVATION In flux balance analysis of genome scale stoichiometric models of metabolism, the principal constraints are uptake or secretion rates, the steady state mass conservation assumption and reaction directionality. Here, we introduce an algorithmic pipeline for quantitative assignment of reaction directionality in multi-compartmental genome scale models based on an application of the seco...

In this study growth characteristics of 815 tuwini (Capoeta trutta) in Shour River were investigated during July 2010 through June 2011. The population was composed of 62.94% females and 32.02% males. Sex ratio was 1: 1.96, with significant differences observed at 1:1 (x2= 150.6 df= 1 p<0.05). The age distribution of this population ranged from <1 to 6 years. The distribution of length and wei...

In order to determine the age structure, growth, and length-weight relationship of the mudskipper, Periophthalmus waltoni, from coastal mudflats of Qeshm Island, Soroo and Bandar-pol, in Hormuzgan Province, Iran, we collected 192 individuals in February 2007. Age was determined using the second pectoral radial bone and year class was based on length-frequency distributions. Growth was descr...

Seven non-linear growth models were compared in the Andalusian turkey, an endangered native breed. To this aim, turkeys weekly weighted until they reached 35 weeks. The goodness-of-fit and flexibility criteria of Brody, Von Bertalanffy, Verhulst, Logistic, Gompertz, Richards, Sinusoidal evaluated to quantify their ability describe biological curve. Goodness-of-fit assessed comparing mean square...

This study was carried out during May 2010 – April 2011 in order to determine various biological properties of red mullet occurring in the Eastern Black Sea region. The average length and weight of 1435 specimens were determined as 13.13 cm and 23.14 g, respectively. Weight-length relationship was determined as W = 0.0088 L3.0338. The age distribution of this population ranged between I and VII...

  Estimates of age, growth parameters, length-weight relationship and length and age at first maturity of the otolithes ruber are required for fishery management. We used counting annuli on the section of sagittal otoliths to age O.ruber from the Northwest Persian Gulf in south of Iran. Estimated ages ranged from 0 to 6 years, and maximum frequency of fishes was observed in age-group 1. The val...

  The population parameters and spawning season of the Spangeld emperor (Lethrinus nebulosus) were studied in coastal waters of Hormouzgan province. The monthly calculated mean values of gonadosomatic index (GSI) of females were indicate to increase from February, reach the highest in March and decline in June. The spawning season peak of L. nebulosus occurred in March. The Von Bertalanffy grow...
