in this study, population dynamics of venerid bivalve paphia cor was investigated for a one-year period (2008-2009) in bushehr shoreline areas (50˚ 40´ e- 29˚ 14´n) to estimate the stock abundance, growth parameters and natural mortality. sampling was carried out bi-monthly by transects at random direction and zigzag pattern with duplicated quadrate (0.25 m2). the length frequency was used to e...

this study was conducted with different levels (0, 0.25, 0.5,1,2 g) of zingiber officinale powder per 100 g of common carp commercial diet. feed was offered for 8 weeks by the post pelleting liquid spraying method. results showed that there were significant differences in all growth parameters and body composition except in survival rate, gain weight percent (gw%) ,sgr and nfe between treatment...
