nowadays, a noticeable part of the relations among the states turn around the environment protection. therefore, the right for ever-creasing use of the existing resources of this inland sea cannot be exclusive to any caspian state and the aftermath involves all countries of this basin. in this respect, agreement on political border and boundaries with the caspian sea?s ecosystem is a difficult ...

Bream (Abramis brama, Berg, 1949; Family: Cyprinidae) is commercially valuable fish in the Caspian Sea fishing industry. Iranian Fisheries Organization annually produces and release up to 19 million Bream fries size for recruiting of this species. Its fries are mostly released into the Anzali wetland with 4 ppt salinity. Meanwhile, they sometimes are released into Sefidrood River (0.5 ppt), Sef...

The Caspian frisian roach (Rutilus frisii kutum), economically a very important fish species in Iran, is propagated in fishponds, reared into the rivers in fingerling size and then harvested from the Caspian Sea in adult stage. We found six monogenean parasites on the Caspian frisian roach including five Dactylogyrus spp. on fingerlings cultured in fishponds and rivers and two Dactylogyrus spp....

[1] Rafting is one of the important deformation mechanisms of sea ice. This process is widespread in the north Caspian Sea, where multiple rafting produces thick sea ice features, which are a hazard to offshore operations. Here we present a one‐dimensional, thermal consolidation model for rafted sea ice. We consider the consolidation between the layers of both a two‐layer and a three‐layer sect...

upwelling areas in the ocean are important places for fishing as nutrients can be transported from deeper area to the near surface region. in this study, the upwelling in the eastern coastal area of the caspian sea for 2004 was studied using coherens, a three-dimensional ocean model. in order to simulate the circulation in the caspian sea, the gridded fields were chosen as 0.046 × 0.046 degrees...

BACKGROUND Knowledge about Alburnoides remains lacking relative to many other species, resulting in a lack of a systematic position and taxonomic diagnosis. Basic biological information for Alburnoides has been constructed, and it is necessary to understand further and obtain more information about this species. Its phylogenetic relationships are still debated and no molecular data have been us...

this study evaluates changes in species composition, catch, and cpue of three species of kilkas in the caspian sea from 1961 to 2009. the effects of fluctuations in sea level rise and fall on the catch of kilka as well as the impacts of a recent invasion by mnemiopsis leidyi (ctenophora) were assessed in terms of species composition and cpue of kilkas in the iranian coastal region of the caspia...

caspian sea had been used a long time between iran and the soviet :union: based on agreements of 1920 and 1940, without international importance. after the soviet’s collapse and with increasing the countries of sea border from two to five, this lake was important due to geopolitical and geo-economical conditions. following these situations, the legal regime of caspian sea needed to be revised. ...

Nowadays, a noticeable part of the relations among the states turn around the environment protection. Therefore, the right for ever-creasing use of the existing resources of this inland sea cannot be exclusive to any Caspian State and the aftermath involves all countries of this basin. In this respect, agreement on political border and boundaries with the Caspian Sea?s ecosystem is a difficul...

in this study, 160 fishes were randomly collected from commercial catch by a cone net in babolsar port from january to october 2010. the biological features of specimens were measured. 2 + years old fishes made the dominant age group with 33.75% and 1 + and 5 + years old had the least frequency (8.75%). relationship between length and weight indicated negative allometric growth pattern (b=2.581...
