During 12 months of sampling, from 17 stations, 327 specimens of Soboor fish Tenualosa ilisha, including 120 females, 113 males and 86 immature were caught. Total length (TL) of the fishes was 120-500mm. Maximum diameters of soboor ova 0.795mm and the ova with diameter more than 0.7 mm released at one spawning round. Temporal and spatial distribution of ova diameter corresponding to GSI changes...

Lead concentration in muscle, liver, kidney, brain and gonad tissues of two cyprinid fishes, Cyprinus carpio and Copoeta spp., from three sections of the upper, middle and lower parts of the Kor River was evaluated in 2006. Totally 225 specimens were caught for this purpose (75 specimens from each zone). Tissue samples were digested in acid and their lead concentrations were assayed by ICP meth...

parasitic infection of pampus argenteus was examined from northwest of qeshm island. a total of 62 specimens were caught in summer 2008 and winter 2009 by bottom trawl and the specimens were selected randomly in different length classes and immediately deep frozen. all samples were transferred to laboratory, after measuring fish weight and length, parasitological survey implemented by stereo an...

Roughscale sole (Clidoderma asperrimum) is only wild caught because basic reproductive research on this species lacking and gamete production in an artificial setting has not been successful. Exogenous hormone treatment used to induce gonadal maturation final spermiation wild-caught individuals. In study, the effects of exogenous roughscale was investigated by implanting different concentration...

Coastal salt marshes provide important habitat for fishes and crustaceans, including species of commercial value that feed or take refuge in the marsh. Yet population abundances vary considerably between sites, often without clear explanation. We hypothesised faunal abundance mean size would be positively related to 2 physical properties govern marsh accessibility water-dependent species, as ha...
