Age and growth of Mesopotamian barb, Capoeta damascina, were studied in the Zayandehrud River, in central Iran, from March 2007 to April 2008. Among the 689 specimens studied, age groups in males ranged from 1+ to 9+ and that in females ranged from 1+ to 10+. The sex ratio (1M:1.6F) was not significantly different from 1:1 ratio. Maximum fork length and weight was 39 cm and 1,115 g for males an...

length- weight relationship and growth pattern, condition factor and length at first maturity of yellowfin seabream were investigated in the persian gulf by monthly sampling of 30 fish from september 2011 to august 2012. maximum (31.45± 4.32) and minimum (17.80± 1.85) values of fork length and maximum (720.46 ± 292.58 gr) and minimum (134.01± 45.62) values of body weight were in january and sep...

Microplastics-induced histopathological changes in gastrointestinal tracts of fish have been widely reported. However, the translation adverse effects gut to impacts on growth are understudied. This study investigated effect MP-induced small intestinal histomorphological performance Oreochromis urolepis juveniles. Sixty larvae were exposed control (0), 1, 10, and 100 polyethylene microplastic p...

OBJECTIVE The secular increase in height is assumed to result from long-term improvements in nutritional intakes and reductions in infectious disease burdens. Nutritional supplementation in early life reduces stunting in chronically undernourished populations. It is not known whether these improvements have an impact on the growth of subsequent generations. Our objective was to estimate the int...

ABSTRACT: Peach palm is a domesticated commercially important for the production of fruits and hearts palm. Somatic embryogenesis, an effective technique mass propagation, was successfully established this species. Furthermore, temporary immersion system improved plant regeneration. However, can be further by understanding peach palm’s growth dynamic modifications culture media. The aims study ...
