Several studies on the white sardine: Sardinella albella, have focused on the identification of stock composition and behavior. In this study population genetic structure and historical demography of S. albella along the cost of the Persian Gulf and Sea of Oman were investigated with a 500-bp segment of mt-DNA control region. In total 40 samples were collected from 3 locations: Jask in Sea of O...

Genetic diversity of sea turtles (hawksbill turtle) was studied using sequencing of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA, D-loop region). Thirty dead embryos were collected from the Kish and Qeshm Islands in the Persian Gulf. Analysis of sequence variation over 890 bp of the mtDNA control region revealed five haplotypes among 30 individuals. This is the first time that Iranian haplotypes have been recorded...

Sea water samples were collected from 32 stations in the southern part of the Persian Gulf and the Gulf of Oman during winter of 1987. Surface water of the Persian Gulf exhibited wide range and higher values of salinity (37.15-43.95, mean 40.02%) compared with lower values and narrow range (36.58-36.95, mean 36.74%) in the Gulf of Oman. Surface salinity did not reflect any significant relations...

given the reduced freshwater supplies across the world, seawater desalination is one of the appropriate methods available for producing freshwater. selecting an optimal location is crucial in the installation of these plants owing to the environmental problems they cause. the present study was conducted to identify optimal locations for installing desalination plants in the coastal areas of sou...

sea surface topography (sst) by definition is the separation between the geoid and the mean sea level (msl). the separation between the geoid and msl is caused by various non-gravitational physical effects. if determination of the geoid as the zero point of the height systems from the tide gauge observation be the goal, it is necessary that the affect of the physical effect be precisely compute...

     The family blenniidae comprises 58 genera and 406 species according to Eschmeyer and Fong (2018). Members of the family Blenniidae are small, scale-less and very agile fishes, inhabiting inshore, sub-tidal rocky substrata, and rock pools of the inter-tidal zone of tropical and sub-tropical marine waters (Randall, 1995). A few species are also reported from brackish and freshwaters (Hastin...
