Motility parameters of the spermatozoa in most fish species spawning in fresh water like Rutilus kutum lasts for a short time after activation. Ovarian fluid significantly influenced sperm motility (motility duration period) and percent motility (progressive forward motile sperm). Both of these variables generally increased as the concentration of ovarian fluid increased from 33% to 50%, respec...

The effectiveness of two kinds of dopamine antagonist (DA), metoclopramide (Met) and domperidone (Dom) combined with the gonadotropin releasing hormone analogue (D-Ala6, Des Gly10 ethylamide) GnRHa was assayed on the ovulation success, latency period, ovulation index (OI) and fertilization success of kutum, Rutilus frisii kutum (Kamenskii, 1901). Brood fish were injected intra-peritoneally as f...

this study was carried out to investigate the effects of salinity levels (0, 2, 4, 7 and 10 ppt) on growth indices, blood biochemical parameters, and body composition in rutilus frisii kutum fingerlings (initial weight 1.330.02 g) during 60 days. results indicated that the highest rates of daily growth, specific growth and weight gain per fish were obtained at the levels of 4 and 2 ppt (p0.05)...

Since the 1990s, anthropogenic activities have been major direct or indirect threats to structural and functional organization of unique ecosystem Caspian Sea (CS). This study attempts investigate relationships between fish community structure environmental parameters analyze Abundance Biomass Comparison (ABC) in CS. The input data, including catch data by species parameters, were collected fro...

Background: Iron, manganese, and aluminum are three abundant metals on earth and their concentrations have increased in aquatic environments as a result of natural and industrial activities. This study was undertaken to report the median acute toxicity (LC50) and accumulation of the sub-lethal concentration (10% 96-h LC50) of iron (Fe), manganese (Mn) and aluminum (Al) in kutum (Rutilus kutum) ...

the boojagh international wetland with a surface area of 80 hectares and 25 fish species is located in the southwest shores of the caspian sea (guilan province, iran), but there is no report about fish parasites in this wetland. in the present study, a total of 553 individuals of 8 fish species including cyprinus carpio (n=71), abramis bjoerkna (n=153), carassius auratus gibelio (n=89), esox lu...
