abstract nowadays, the management of water resources by planning through appropriate site selection, fish species storage and selection, enforcement and providing various side services has become a profitable, entrepreneurial and fun process. survey and usage of development of fee-fishing experience in the world wide represent a model in order to a better economical and fun plan offers and envi...

Large and powerful ocean predators such as swordfishes, some tunas, and several shark species are unique among fishes in that they are capable of maintaining elevated body temperatures (endothermy) when hunting for prey in deep and cold water . In these animals, warming the central nervous system and the eyes is the one common feature of this energetically costly adaptation . In the swordfish (...

Streamflow and water temperature (hydroclimate) influence the life histories of aquatic biota. The relationship between streamflow and temperature varies with climate, hydrogeomorphic setting, and season. Life histories of native fishes reflect, in part, their adaptation to regional hydroclimate (flow and water temperature), local habitats, and natural disturbance regimes, all of which may be a...

A modal shift from road transport towards inland water or rail transport could reduce the total Green House Gas emissions and societal impact associated with Municipal Solid Waste management. However, this shift will take place only if demonstrated to be at least cost-neutral for the decision makers. In this paper we examine the feasibility of using multimodal truck and inland water transport, ...

a systematic parasitological examination was carried out on 266 freshwater fish speci-mens, belonging to 11 species, from northwest of iran during the period from summer 2001 to summer 2002. twelve parasite species including diplostomum spathaceum, al-locreadium isoporum, ligula intestinalis, digrama sp., caryophylleus laticeps, rhabdocona hellichi, eustrongylides excisus, argulus foliaceus, la...

The implementation of the European Union Water Framework Directive (WFD) requires nationally generalizable estimates of the benefits of protecting inland and coastal waters. As an alternative to benefit transfers and meta-analyses, we utilize national recreation inventory data combined with water quality data to model recreation participation and estimate the benefits of water quality improveme...
