mercury is one of the most toxic heavy metal which can enter the human body mainly through consumption of seafood contaminated with mercury. in this study, the human health risk due to consumption of kutum (rutilus frisii kutum), in the caspian sea, were evaluated by measuring the concentration of mercury in muscle samples using atomic absorbtion spectrophotometer (perkin elmer fias-100) and co...

this study was carried out to evaluate the effects of different dietary protein (30, 35, 40%) and lipid levels (10, 12, 14%) on growth performance and physiological changes of juveniles caspian kutum (rutilus frisii kutum). six hundred and seventy five fish (1.15 ± 0.01 g) were distributed into 27 aquaria (45 l) and were fed four times daily for 8 weeks. interaction between protein and lipid di...

Body composition and fatty acid profile of the body tissue of Caspian kutum (Rutilus frisii kutum) fish larvae were determined from fertilized egg to 50 days post hatching (dph). Feeding with rotifer started from day 3 to day 7 thereafter they were fed with dry food until the end of the experiment. The changes observed in lipid content and the decrease in lipid levels during larval ontogeny ref...

background: edifenphos, a kind of organophosphate toxins, is used as agricultural fungicides in rice fields. this study was aimed to investigate the effect of temperature on lethal concentration of exposure to edifenphos on rutilus frisii kutum (caspian kutum). methods: the experiment was carried out in static condition and based on instructions of oecd within 10 d under controlled water physic...

  Gravid wild kutum broodstock, Rutilus frisii kutum, on their upstream migration to Valiabad River (northern Iran) were kept in captivity to allow them to ovulate (captive ripe). Then the impact of captivity on some reproductive and physiological parameters (i.e., plasma cortisol and glucose levels, fertilization percentage, gonadosomatic index and fecundity) were assessed and results were com...

A 60-days feeding trail was conducted to evaluate the effects of dietary digestible energy levels (DE) on kutum, Rutilus frisii kutum. Four is nitrogenous (35% protein) diets with digestible energy levels of 2500, 2600, 2700 and 2800kcal kg-1 was tested. Two hundred and forty advanced fry (2±0.4g) were randomly distributed in 12 fiberglass tanks of 400L capacity. Nutritional responses in...
