The main objectives of this study were to study the parasitic infestation of Lernaea cyprinacea in 4 cyprinids from the Choghakhor Lagoon, Chaharmahal - Bakhtyari Province, west of Iran. A total of 180 cyprinids including Cyprinus carpio (n=101), Carassius auratus (n=47), Capoeta aculeata (n=10) and Alburnus alburnus (n=22) caught, and were studied for Lernaea cyprinacea infestation. Prevalence...

The present study represents a comprehensive molecular assessment of some family of freshwater fishes in Iran. We analyzed cytochrome oxidase I (COI) sequences for five genus of cypriniform fishes from Iran. The present investigation provides data on genetic structure of some species of Nemachilidae including Paraschistura bampurensis, Oxynoemacheilus kiabii and Turcinemacheilus saadii and Leuc...

Species feeding lower at the food web like cyprinids (carp) are often advocated for sustainable aquaculture. However, their gastrointestinal biology (lack of stomach) has limited acid-peptic digestion, acid lysis plants and invertebrate tissues, phosphorus uptake. This review presents data from 118 articles on use plant-based feed additives (PFAs) in Cyprinus carpio (common carp). Our shows tha...

Distance-decay models fit parametric functions to assess the relationship between similarity and spatial or environmental distance. Despite widespread use of distance-decay in ecology biogeography, no method has been previously developed validated significance differences parameters (i.e. intercept slope) two models. The pairwise autocorrelation distance affects variance parameter estimates, pr...
