some biological characteristics of broodstock and juvenile kutum, rutilus kutum. were investigated using data collected from the estuaries of tajen and shirood rivers (tr and sr) (southern caspian sea basin) as well as from the caspian sea in 2012. the results showed higher condition factors (cf) in the male broodstocks kutum than those estimated in the female broodstock of both tr and sr. the ...

hybrids were produced by crossing female caspian kutum rutilus frisii kutum with male grass carp ctenopharyngodon idella. the genome of eight larvae and parents were studied using microsatellite markers for genetic evaluation and verification. after dna extraction from parent fish and progeny, hybrid heritability of two loci was assessed using two pairs of microsatellite primers. hybridizie...

changes in the fatty acid content, during frozen storage at -24°c of caspian kutum (rutilus frisii kutum), golden grey mullet (liza aurata), common carp (caprinus carpio), pike perch (sander lucioperca) and common kilka (clupeonella cultiventris caspia), caught from south caspian sea were studied in the present work. changes in saturated fatty acids (sfas), monounsaturated fatty acids (mufas), ...

in this study, growth and survival of the caspian whitefish, rutilus frisii kutum, (mean weight 0.59±0.06g) have been estimated at different rearing salinities (0, 5 and 10‰) and temperatures (24 and 28˚c). maximum fish weight gain (493.65±14.07%) and specific growth rate (sgr) (2.74±0.15%), and minimum feed conversion ratio (fcr) (1.66±0.06) were obtained at salinity of 5‰ and temperature of 2...

production of new hybrids is important for growing aquaculture and protecting wild stocks of fish species. a hybrid between female asp × male kutum ( leuciscus aspius ♀ × rutilus frisii ♂) was produced and its growth performance was monitored in two rearing systems for 55 days. the fish held in earthen ponds exhibited higher performance compared to those held in concrete tanks. the results also...
