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...

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...

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...

Concentrations of heavy metals were determined in muscles of Kutum (Rutilus frisii kutum) collected from the central part of the southern end of the Caspian Sea during February 2011. Except for silver (Ag) and nickel (Ni) which were below the limits of detection, the average levels of arsenic (As), cadmium (Cd), copper (Co), chromium (Cr), copper (Cu), iron (Fe), manganese (Mn), lead (Pb), sele...
