The histopathological effects of Linear Alkylbenzene Sulfonate on the gill, liver and kidney tissues of the Caspian kutum, Rutilus frisii kutum were studied. The fish were exposed to three sublethal concentrations of anionic detergent, Linear Alkylbenzene Sulfonate (LAS) for short term intervals (192 h). Gill, liver and kidney samples were collected after 192 h of exposure to LAS and lesions we...

The aim of present study was to determine the LC50/96 h value of copper sulfate and determine the growth performance of Caspian Sea kutum) Rutilus frisii kutum (fingerlings during 60-days sub-lethal copper (Cu). After acclimation period to two weeks, for determine the LC50/96 h value, total of 27 aquarium with a capacity of 60 L each stocked with 10 fishes an aquarium. Tunney four aquarium and ...

This study was conducted to evaluate the antibacterial effect of Carum copticum essential oil (Ajowan EO) against Listeria monocytogenes in fish model system. Ajowan EO chemical composition was determined by gas chromatography/mass spectral analysis and the highest concentration of Carum copticum essential oil without any significant changes on sensory properties of kutum fish (Rutilus frisii k...

This study investigated the growth rate, proximate composition, and fatty acid profile in juvenile of kutum Rutilus frisii kutum in different dark-light cycles. Fish were stocked randomly in eighteen 2000-L fiberglass tanks and received six photoperiod regimes: natural photoperiod, 24L (light):0D (day), 16L:8D, 12L:12D, 8L:16D and 0L:24D. Application of continuous dark (0L:24D) and an intermedi...

We studied the association between environmental stress and epidermal papillomatosis of roach Rutilus rutilus L. in Finnish waters using a 'matched pairs' design. Populations impacted by industrial and/or sewage effluents were compared to reference populations from pristine sites. We examined both the prevalence (proportion of diseased fish) and intensity (number of scales covered by tumors) of...

the aim of the present research is to survey the effects of environmental and biological factors on rutilus frisii kutum migration in the southwest region of caspian sea. for this purpose sampling was carried out by gillnet cooperatives company in tonekabon city  from november 2013 to april 2014. the total catch per unit effort  was calculated as 220 kg. rutilus frisii kutum  contains 69% of th...

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...

Caspian sea is a land–locked brackish water lake where zoologically characterized by various aquatic animals aquatic animals and different commercially important fish species Shariati [15]. The fishes in the Caspian Sea and its watershed areas include 78 species, and 49 subspecies which belong to 16 fish family. The bulk of Caspian Sea fishes are anadromos and the major commercially important f...
