in this study the genetic diversity of wild caspian trout (salmo trutta caspius) in the sardabroud and astara rivers was evaluated using d- loop region sequencing. for this purpose, 35 specimens of adult caspian brown trout were collected from these rivers in the mazandarn and gilan provinces in fall and winter 2011. approximately 3-5 g of soft and fresh fin tissue was isolated and fixed in eth...

  The aims of the present study were to determine the best time for egg stripping after ovulation and to study oocyte over-ripening in the Caspian brown trout (Salmo trutta caspius). Eggs were retained in the female abdominal cavity for 40 days post ovulation (DPO). Partial volumes of eggs stripped from 10 individually identified females at 10 days intervals and fertilized with a pool of semen ...

Interrelationships, origin and phylogenetic affinities of brown trout Salmo trutta populations from the southern Caspian Sea basin, Orumieh and Namak Lake basins in Iran were analysed from complete mtDNA control region sequences, 12 microsatellite loci and morphological characters. Among 129 specimens from six populations, seven haplotypes were observed. Based on mtDNA haplotype data, the Orumi...

in order to study of vitamin c effect on body composition and antioxidant enzyme activities, including superoxide dismutase and catalase in five diets containing different levels of vitamin c (0, 50, 250, 750and 1500mg vitamin/kg diet) had been fed by caspian brown trout fry (salmo trutta caspius) for 6 weeks in triplicate. after 6 weeks, the findings of growth parameters and survival showed si...

In the present study, the effect of successive milt collection was investigated on spermatological parameters and reproduction successes of wild and cultured endangered caspian brown trout. The milt collection was done 3 times with two weeks intervals. After milt collection, amount of milt was allocated for milt quality evaluation and reminders used for fertilization. According to results, in w...

The maintenance of the endangered Caspian brown trout Salmo trutta caspius populations in Iran depends on its artificial breeding. There is no information on how current hatchery breeding protocol influences effective population size of breeders (Ne), which is a critical parameter to maintain genetic diversity in future generations. The current hatchery protocol (CHP) was comparatively evaluate...

We explored potential negative effects of exotic brown trout (Salmo trutta) on native sculpin (Cottus sp.) on the Logan River, Utah, USA by (i) examining factors most strongly correlated with sculpin abundance (e.g., abiotic conditions or piscivory?), (ii) contrasting the extent of brown trout predation on sculpin with that by native cutthroat trout (Oncorhynchus clarkii utah) and (iii) estimat...
