following an outbreak of fascioliasis in anzali harbor in 1988, 452 blood samples were collected using a multistage sampling method for hematological and serological studies. after determination of eosinophilia in the samples, antifasciolia antibodies in the sera were also determined using enzyme linked immuno sorbant assay (elisa) and counter-current immuno electrophoresis (ccie). 64.2% of the...

this study was conducted in order to investigate genetic diversity and population structure of pike-perch in the northern part of iran. for this purpose, 207 adult pike-perches from four regions of the caspian sea watershed (talesh coasts, anzali wetland, chaboksar coasts and aras dam) were collected. dna was extracted and by using 15 pairs of microsatellite primers, polymerase chain reaction (...

plant-based remediation (i.e. phytoremediation) is one of the most significant eco-sustainable techniques to cope with devastating consequences of pollutants. in the present study, the potential of a wetland macrophyt (i.e. potamogeton crispus ) for the phytoremediation of heavy metals (i.e. cu, cr, pb, as and cd) in the anzali wetland was evaluated. the results showed that p. crispus tends to ...

there are two approaches regarding environmental changes. one of the is ignoring them and continuing present trend in future, and the other is identifying these changes and preparing environmental management program in order to control their negative impacts and plan for the improvement of environmental condition. anzali international wetland is one of the protected wetlands in iran which is in...

plants polluted with pb produced by automobiles along the roads and highways have extensively been reported all over the world. it is the most important source of pollution in the environment. this research was carried out to determine the polluting degree of plants along the highways such as: rasht-anzaly, kelachay-ramsar, tehran-karaj, and isfahan-tehran. at each arbitrary point, a transect 1...

The rapid rise of Caspian Sea water level (about 2.25 meters since 1978) has caused much concern to all five surrounding countries, primarily because flooding has destroyed or damaged buildings and other engineering structures, roads, beaches and farm lands in the coastal zone. Given that climate, and more specifically climate change, is a primary factor influencing oscillations in Caspian Sea ...

The Caspian Sea (CS), biggest inland water worldwide has experienced around 3 m oscillation in sea level during the 20th century. These rapid fluctuations have had a great impact on coastal habitat this sea. Therefore, study is aimed to investigate long-term changes of western part shoreline and Anzali lagoon their dynamic responses fluctuation using time series analysis remotely sensed data ov...

Anzali Wetland as a listed habitat in Montreux Record, was investigated for the mammal fauna during Jan. 2015 - Jan. 2016. About 165 km of water bodies and 200 km around Anzali Wetland were patrolled, respectively. By applying different methods, such as direct observation, different signs recording, using different sampling traps, nets and camera traps, twenty mammal species were identified fro...
