The genus Ambrosia consisting at least 40 species, with numerous intraspecific taxa (Essl et al. 2015). The first observation of Ambrosia from Iran was reported by Mozaffarian (1991). He reported distribution of A. artemisiifolia L.in Bandar-e Anzali (Gilan province, N Iran). Expanding new colonies of Ambrosia species were increasingly observed from road-sides and coastal areas of Bandar-e Anza...

swot analysis is used extensively as an assessment and planning method, particularly in tourism planning. however, there are little documentations on application of swot analysis in ecotourism. an assessment on systematic use of swot analysis was carried out in the present study to highlight the applicability of the swot technique in detailed investigations. in this study, based on field survey...

The aim of this study was to detect the occurrence of parasites in Prussian carp, Carassius gibelio as the most important alien fish in Anzali international wetland.

background: mercury (hg) is a major environmental contaminant due to its global ubiquity, tendency to bioaccumulate, and toxicity in wildlife. mercury accumulation in wetlands threatens critical breeding and foraging habitats of many fish and wildlife species. in this study, mercury concentrations were detected in different tissues of pike. methods: to achieve these purposes, 58 pikes (esox luc...

The Caspian Sea and its basin (e.g. Anzali wetland) is one of the natural habitats of wild common carp Cyprinus carpio. In this study the genetic structure of this species. In the south-west of Caspian Sea (the Anzali wetland) was investigated using PCR-RFLP analysis of D-loop region. Two hundred of mature fish were collected from 5 stations (40 individuals from each station) including Siahkesh...
