Analysis of land-use suitability requires consideration of variety of criteria. Application of GIS alone could not overcome the issue of inconsistency in expert opinion when trying to judge and assign relative importance to each of many criteria considered in a suitability analysis. To address this issue, the Analytical Hierarchy Process method is used in combination with the GIS tool. The pape...

Bacterial magnetic nanoparticles have great useful potential in biotechnological and biomedical applications. In this study, a liquid growth medium was modified for cultivation a fastidious magnetotactic bacterium that has been isolated from Anzali lagoon, Iran in our previous research. These modifications include change in vitamin, mineral, carbon sources and etcetera. In our experience, the s...

the length- length (llrs), length-weight (lwr) relationships and relative condition factor (kn) of 505 specimens of pike, (esox lucius linnaeus, 1798) from anzali wetland, southwest of the caspian sea, were studied from april 2012 through march 2013. the length-length relationships among total length (tl), fork length (fl) and standard length (sl) for pike were found to be highly significant (r...

During a survey of aquatic fungi from Anzali Lagoon in Iran, several fungal specimens were isolated freshwater habitats. Morphological evidence and comparing sequencing based on rDNA (ITS LSU) protein-coding genes (TEF1 TUB2) showed that some isolates belong to undescribed species. These Arthrobotrys Sarocladium, two ascomycetes genera. hyrcanus, sp. nov., differs closely related species such a...

The construction of new breakwaters in Anzali port has had a significant impact on the water body international lagoon. wetland is under threat from sediment influx mountainous regions, and study used satellite image processing to demonstrate how impedes natural transfer lagoon sea. methodology employed hybrid approach combining two methods: normal index (MNDWI) supervised classification (SVM) ...

tracking and determining the amount and types of urban sewage that is being releasing to the environment is important in planning for wastewater treatment systems and water quality control. in this research, in four stations of anzali lagoon, (by means of a gas chromatograph device with mass detector spectrometer) wastewater pollution has been measured and evaluated with molecular indicator lin...

background: in anzali lagoon, there are some endemic and exotic fishes. the present study was conducted to compare the parasitic fauna of blicca bjeorkna , as an endemic fish and hemicul­ter leucisculus , as an introduced fish to the lagoon. methods: a parasitological investigation was done on 78 specimens of b. bjoerkna and 114 of h. leu­cisculus . the fishes were collected from august 2009 to...

population of vimba vimba persa was investigated using microsatellite markers originated from two regions along the iranian coastline of southern caspian sea (anzali lagoon and havigh river in gilan province). totally 153 alleles were identified. the highest number of alleles per ca3 loci was 17 and the lowest 3 in z8145 loci with means of 7.6. observed and expected heterozygosity averages were...

Nine Dictyuchus isolates were obtained from floating and decaying twigs and leaves in Anzali lagoon, Anzali County, Guilan province, Iran. They are interestingly distinguished from current Dictyuchus species by the presence of dictyoid and achlyoid type of zoospore discharge, abundant fusiform and spherical gemma, and the absence of any sexual apparatus. In addition, phylogene...
