Fucoxanthin contents of four species of brown seaweeds (Dictyota indica, Padina tenuis, Colpomenia sinuosa and Iyengaria stellata) from intertidal zone of Qeshm Island, Persian Gulf were assessed in summer and winter of 2016. In addition, some physicochemical properties (pH, temperature, salinity and conductivity) of seawater were monitored on the same time. The antibacterial activity of algal ...

Reproduction and spawning patterns of the Yellowtail scad (Atule mate) were studied in the Persian Gulf and Oman Sea (Hormozgan coastal waters) from December 2016 to November 2017. A total of 447 fish were collected from Bandar Lengeh, Qeshm Island, Bandar Abbas, and Bandar Jask landing sites. Minimum and maximum fork lengths of this species were 10 and 33 cm, with average 20.63±1.73 cm. The to...

Mismatch of territories under authority of local governments with urban-regional activity domains, on one hand, has caused numerous problems and, on the other hand, has hindered taking maximum advantage of regional capacities and partial and competitive advantages. Hence, application of a new regionalism approach, which focuses on shared planning and management by all stakeholder groups within ...

A faunistic survey of Euphorinae (Hym., Braconidae) in southern Iran, as well as an updated checklist of the genera and species in Iran, are presented. Sampling was performed using Malaise traps at different locations of Hormozgan province and Qeshm Island in Persian Gulf during 2011-2013. In total, 38 species belonging to 10 genera are listed from Iran. The recorded species belong to the follo...

Two new species of Palapedia Ng, 1993, are described based on material collected from Abu-Musa Island, Persian Gulf during the present study, from Bahrain by the 1937/38 Danish Expedition, and from the Saudi Arabian coast of the Persian Gulf by Michael Apel in 1992-1995. Palapedia persica n. sp. is distinguishable from its congeners by having distinctly large denticles on the upper margin of th...

in this study, the amount of nickel and vanadium elements in the soft tissues of rock oysters (saccostrea cuculata) and sea water from coastal areas of qeshm island, the biggest island of persian gulf located in the south of iran, were measured to evaluate the contamination of the aquatic environment and organisms. following the bioassay, weighing and chemical digestion of the samples, finally...

the main purpose of this study is the survey of the atmospheric low pressure effects at sea level oscillations in the qeshm channel. for this purpose, the curves of the pressure on the persian gulf and oman sea, during the passing of the atmospheric low pressure system, are extracted across the region. during the time of occurrence of these events, sea level oscillations in the coastal areas of...

in this study marine sponges of inter tidal zone from hengam island persian gulf were collected by wading at low tides in eskeleh station at  locations 55˚ 53ʹ 40ʺ e & 26˚ 40ʹ 53ʺ n.for identifying identification of sponge samples, acid digestion method as a method of early detection and microtome section to identify the skeletal structure were used.all the identified sponges were from class de...
