Although many different erosion processes affect the coastal area of South Iran, wind caused erosion, considered a restrictive factor in human activities, makes one of the more common landscapes of the coastal strip. Therefore the recognition of wind caused erosion and its result is inevitable to conduct an effective coastal management. This study discusses the littoral geomorphologic shape of ...

the distribution of yellowfin seabream populations in estuaries and inland rivers in coastal area of the persian gulf and strait of hormuz is presented. based on morphological and mersitic characteristics and also color pattern, these populations are assigned to the recently described sparid fish, acanthopagrus arabicus iwatsuki, 2013 which is distinguished by pelvic and anal fins vivid or stro...

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...

The shape diversity among populations of Scartelaos tenuis (Day 1876) from five stations (194 specimens) in the Persian Gulf, Strait of Hormuz (Qeshm Island), and the Sea of Oman were investigated. The shape variation was assessed by geometric morphometrics, using 14 morphological landmarks. The two sexes were not distinguishable by the shape. Fish samples were classified into two distinct grou...

International conflicts cause global energy price fluctuations and supply disruptions, which can threaten security economic growth in energy-importing countries, including China. However, the implications impact mechanisms of international on economy oil-importing countries have been poorly explored. Using US sanctions Iran as a case, energy-extended computable general equilibrium model, GTAP-E...
