the native fishes of iran are imp ortant, since the stock of population are declining and the species of some fishes are in danger , because of industrialization, pollution, dryness, purposeful or accidental introduction of exotic species. the inland water species of iran are import ant, since they have not been yet completely identified. in order to conduct taxonomic revision and survey of pop...

Natural fish species living in the Euphrates River System; It is subject to some pressures such as overfishing, competition with invasive and habitat loss. As a result of these pressures, it leads decrease endemic native species. At beginning are belonging Barbus Cuvier & Cloquet, 1816 Luciobarbus Heckel, 1843 genera, which have high economic importance. In this study, phylogenetic analysis...

The phylogenetic relationships and haplotype diversity of all Iberian barbels were examined by analyzing the complete mitochondrial cytochrome b gene sequence (1141 bp) of 72 specimens from 59 Iberian localities. Phylogenetic findings demonstrated a clear distinction between two mitochondrial lineages and confirmed the existence of two previously considered subgenera: Barbus and Luciobarbus: Th...

survey on developmental stages of myxobolus karuni and m. persicus in the gills of barboid fishes from mezopotamian part of iran was done. a total 296 fish specimences were examined. random sampling was carried out during 2002- 2004 from karoun, karkheh rivers and shadgan lagoon. the fishes transported alive to the laboratory, their gills were fixed and stained. myxobolus karuni developed histo...
