Shrimp aquaculture has a short history in I.R Iran. Farmed shrimp production grew slowly from 1992 until 2000 when a number of large farms started to produce. In 2000, the total production was about 4,500 MT and it was estimated that more than 7,000 MT would be produce by the year 2001. From August 1997 to March 1998, two thousand samples of cultured Penaeus semisulcatus postlarvae and subadult...

In the Indian Ocean, salty water masses from Persian Gulf and Red Sea are important sources of salt, heat, nutrients. Across Arabian Sea, these outflows impact human biological activities, their thermohaline characteristics shapes exhibiting spatial seasonal variability. The knowledge properties is to validate realistic simulations Ocean. A classical approach study track them on specific isopyc...

This study aimed to investigate otolith in Rachycentron canadum in the Persian Gulf and Oman Sea. Sampling lasted from March 2014 to April 2015 in Khouzestan to Sistan and Baloochestan waters. During this period 30 specimens of R. canadum were caught and studied. Trawling time was 2-2½ hours and trawling depth was considered as 10-100 m daily. All the fish were identified and their otolith was ...

longtail tuna (thunnus tonggol) is one of the most important and commercial species in the persian gulf and oman sea. in order to come up with the responsible fishing pattern, there was a need to identify some of the biological characteristics and population dynamic parameters. data were collected randomly from six major artisanal fish-landing sites hassineh, kong, bandar abbas, salakh, sirik a...

Coral communities in the Persian/Arabian Gulf (PAG) withstand unusually high salinity levels and regular summer temperature maxima of up to ∼35 °C that kill conspecifics elsewhere. Due to the recent formation of the PAG and its subsequent shift to a hot climate, these corals have had only <6,000 y to adapt to these extreme conditions and can therefore inform on how coral reefs may respond to gl...

The population parameters of Malabar trevally (Carangoides malabaricus) were studied in the Persian Gulf and Oman Sea from December 2016 to November 2017. 1030 specimens were collected. The fork length ranged from 14 to 34 cm, with average 25.60±3.52 cm. The total weight ranged from 60.4 to 534.5 g, with average 329.03±113.46 g. The asymptotic length (L∞) and growth coefficient (K) were 37 cm a...
