Diadema setosum (Leske, 1778), is one of the common echinoids widely distributed in the Indo-West Pacific Ocean, where it occurs from the Red Sea, Persian Gulf and the east coast of Africa to Japan, Australia and Malaysia. To investigate the developmental basis of morphological changes in embryos and larvae, we documented the ontogeny of D. setosum in a controlled laboratory condition at the In...

  ABSTRACT   Background : Natural uranium exists in earth crust and seawater. The concentration of uranium might increase by human manipulation or geological changes. The aim of this study was to verify susceptibility of laser flourimetry method to determine the uranium concentration in Caspian Sea and Persian Gulf water.   Materials and Methods : Laser flourimetric method was used to determine...

the present study aimed at investigating and estimating the amount of damage caused by waste water pollution of water desalinators in the south pars special zone. the main reasons for conducting this study were to investigate the creation of environmental pollutants as a result of the development and expansion of different industries in the south pars zone, as well as the ecological sensitivity...

using global free air gravity and topography data, first we have calculated a bouguer anomaly (ba) map for iranian plateau and then computed the residual isostasy anomaly map under the airy-heiskannen assumption. the term residual is used as to reflect the assumption of local isostatic compensation in contrast to a regional isostatic compensation. the value with which the gravity effect of the ...

The Indian Ocean (Figure 1) comprises 20% of the World’s surface water, has an austral to tropical temperature gradient, is bounded to the east by the African continent, to the north by the Asian land mass (which includes semi-enclosed seas the Red Sea, Arabian Gulf, Gulf of Thailand and Bay of Bengal), and to the West by SE Asia (Thailand, Malaysia, Indonesia, Timor L’Este and Australia). The ...

Background: The Persian Gulf is a suitable habitat for various types of marine species. This study was conducted with the aim of determining the epidemiology and clinical findings of injuries inflicted by marine creatures in the Persian Gulf, south Iran. Methods: In this retrospective cross-sectional study, medical records of patients with diagnosis of marine animal exposures treated at 6 refe...
