Abstract Introduction The experiment was set to determine the effects of long-term (55-day) use three commercial prebiotics including Saccharomyces cerevisiae –derived β-glucans and one inulin on juvenile vimba (Vimba vimba) reared intensively under controlled conditions. Material Methods Six-month-old fish were fed feed (Control group, n = 90), or same supplemented with 0.02% Leiber Beta-S (BS...

in this study, the diversity and distribution of economical bony fishes in less-than-ten-meter depths, cpue and population features such as total length, weight and age were investigated in the southern part of the caspian sea in 1385-6. sampling was done in five regions: amir abad, larim, izdeh, kheyroud, and nashtarood with gilnet in mesh sizes of 26, 33, 40, 60, 100, and 150 mm. in total, 22...

Besides traditional methods based on morphological characters, electrophoretic such as SDS-PAGE are preferred by taxonomists to make the right decision in species identification process. In addition, effect of environmental factors, pH, salinity, heat, and temperature protein profiles essential various studies. this study, we aimed determine degree relationship some fish species, Squalius lepid...
