Information obtained as a result of monitoring water bodies is taken basis for legal regulation economic activities related to environmental pollution. In the context globalized economy, strengthening protection measures in one neighboring countries often leads fact that next plant will be built across border, and its impact on environment global scale same. this study, authors studied problem ...

the southern shores of caspian sea is subjected to several atmospheric factors due to its geographical position. north atlantic oscillation(nao) one of the effective phenomenon's affects the most part of hemisphere included caspian sea. in this research negative and positive phases of nao considered with variability of temperature and precipitation of southern shores of caspian sea in a 30...

The flocculation of dissolved heavy metals is a process which has an important effect on decreasing the concentration of the colloidal elements during estuarine mixing of river water and sea or ocean water. During this important process, a large amount of colloidal elements change into particles in the form of flock and the dissolved loads decline. This study is performed to evaluate the mechani...

anzali international wetland is one of the most valuable water resources as registered in ramsar convention with an extent of about 150 km2 in the south caspian sea. this wetland, not only has ecological and biological importance for migratory birds and rare fish species, but also is used for farms to discharge into the caspian sea through this wetland. therefore its pollution control is very i...

there are a number of ideas to generate cloud and precipitation in the southern coasts of caspian sea, but none of them explain the cause of precipitation particularly heavy and super heavy precipitations precisely. this study describes main thermodynamic factors when the situation and location of synoptic patterns are effective. on the basis of daily data, monthly regimes and monthly trends of...

More than 10,000 Caspian seals (Phoca caspica) were reported dead in the Caspian Sea during spring and summer 2000. We performed necropsies and extensive laboratory analyses on 18 seals, as well as examination of the pattern of strandings and variation in weather in recent years, to identify the cause of mortality and potential contributory factors. The monthly stranding rate in 2000 was up to ...

to determine the prevalence of animal fascioliasis in coastal regions of the caspian sea, during 2006-2007, a total of 2368 faecal samples were collected from sheep (n=1250), cattle (n=975) and horse (n=143). the samples were obtained directly from the rectum of animals. floatation method was performed for determination of egg per gram of faeces (epg). our findings revealed the presence of fasc...

the aim of this study was to provide necessary information on the age, growth and sex ratio of one of commercially important cyprinid species, alburnus chalcoides in the southern caspian sea (north iran) from 2010 through 2011. 53 specimens of both sexes (males and females) were collected monthly. the samples were transported tothe laboratory for further biological measurements and otolith extr...

actinomycetes are interesting as a main producer of secondary metabolites and industrial antibiotics from marine environments. a total of 44 strains of actinomycetes were isolated from caspian sea sediments at a depth of 5-10 m. preliminary screening was done using cross-streak method against 2 gram-positive and 4 gram-negative pathogen bacteria. the most potent strains mn2, mn3, mn38, mn39, mn...
