Identification of different species of oceanic and neritic squids in Iranian waters of Oman Sea was carried out from December 1996 to February 1997. The trawl surveys were conducted during a 12-months period. Fishing was also undertaken by Mid-water and bottom trawl for species confirmation purposes in deep (200-350m) and shallow (0-100m) waters to collect enough specimens that could be used fo...

Six species of Sargassum C. Agardh (Sargassaceae) with compressed primary branches, including: S. binderi Sonder, S. aquifolium (Turner)C. Agardh, S. oligocystum Montagne, S. swartzii (Turner)C. Agardh, S. crassifolium J. Agardh and S. cristaefolium C. A. Agardh, were identified in the Persian Gulf and Oman Sea coasts, among which S. binderi is reported as newly recorded species in Iran for the...

a computer software was designed to facilitate identification of nematode species. the first section of the computer program was prepared to identify the species of the genus criconemoides. nemidsoft can be easily installed on personal computers with a minimal requirements. the software can be edited by users and developed and generalized to other genera of the nematodes. by having the morpholo...

background: sarcocystosis is one of the most widespread parasitic diseases in cattle caused by three main species of sarcocystis genus. the major aim of this study was to determine the prevalence of sarcocystis spp. in meat produced in yazd, central iran with special reference to species identification, using polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism (pcr-rflp).  method...

the identification of the efficiency of some mtdna genes of mus musculus species complex (house mouse) for biosystematics research was studied in this approach. recent studies have made use of different mitochondrial genes including nadh dehydrogenase genes, cytochrome b gene, cytochrome oxidase genes, d-loop region and whole mtdna genome to study the house mouse species. usage of each of these...
