common kilka clupeonella cultriventris (nordmann, 1840) is a brackish water and small pelagic fish species and is one of the most abundant fishes that live gregariously in the caspian sea. a total of 60 specimens of adult common kilka were sampled from two seasons. fifteen pairs of microsatellites previously developed for a.sapidissima, c. pallasi, c.harengus, and s. pilchardus were tested for ...

Age structure of the Caspian Sea anchovy kilka, Clupeonella engrauliformis, was estimated for the first time by back-calculation methods. Otolith growth and the rate of increment in anchovy kilka were examined to determine whether otoliths could be used to back calculate body sizes at various life stages. Sampling was carried out on commercial fishing vessels board along the Iranian coast in 20...

background: antioxidant activities of plant extracts are being studied to increase the shelf life of fish products. some plants such as urtica dioica l. (nettle) can be a good source of antioxidants. the objective of this study was to evaluate the effects of hydroalcoholic and water extracts of nettle leaf on the chemical properties of superchilled minced meat of the common kilka fish (clupeone...

in present study, the kinetic parameters of purified trypsin from pyloric caeca of common kilka (c.cultriventris caspia) were measured using the amidolytic (bapna) and esterolytic (tame) substrates. the results of the kinetic comparison between bapna and tame substrates showed that kinetic parameters including maximum velocity (vmax), catalytic constant (kcat) and catalytic efficiency (kcat/km)...

the present research aimed to study the growth and reproductive parameters of common kilka clupeonella caspia in southern caspian sea in 2010. after measuring the length and weight of 3774 samples, they were dissected, sex determined and female gonads were weighed. sexual maturity classification was carried out based on six stages. age was determined using sagitta otoliths. length-weight relati...

To examine whether dietary supplementation with omega-3 fatty acids from Clupeonella grimmi can relieve symptoms of dysmenorrhoea, we carried out a cross-over clinical trial on 36 girls aged 18-22 years. They were randomly allocated into 2 groups of 18. Group A received 15 mL fish oil daily (550 mg eicosapentaenoic acid; 205 mg decosahexaenoic acid) while Group B received placebo. After 3 month...
