the aim of this study was to provide necessary information on the age, growth and sex ratio of one of commercially important cyprinid species, alburnus chalcoides in the southern caspian sea (north iran) from 2010 through 2011. 53 specimens of both sexes (males and females) were collected monthly. the samples were transported tothe laboratory for further biological measurements and otolith extr...

alburnus chalcoides , caspian shemaya, is found in the river systems of the aral, black and caspian sea basins and is an economically valuable cyprinid from the southern caspian sea. this species has been reported as near threatened species in this basin due to damming, over and illegal fishing, destruction of its spawning grounds and water pollution. the caspian shemaya is an important species...

in this study gill-net selectivity for alburnus chalcoides inhabiting the almus dam lake was estimated. experimental gill-net fishing was conducted using gill-net with 15 mm and 20 mm mesh-size, during october 2002 and september 2003. a total of 254 and 198 specimens of a. chalcoides were caught by gill-net with 15 mm and 198 with the 20 mm mesh-size, respectively. the total length of the fish ...

Muscle cellularity patterns in teleost fish have normally been investigated using animals reared under constant temperature conditions. In the present study, Danube bleak (Chalcalburnus chalcoides mento) were reared under two different rising temperature regimes (cold, 12-16 degrees C; warm, 18-20 degrees C) designed to mimic the natural conditions experienced by the fish in temperate freshwate...

We studied the effects of boating and navigation activities on the recruitment of coastal fish in the Stockholm archipelago in the NW Baltic proper. The impacts were quantified by sampling metamorphosed young-of-the-year (Y-O-Y) fish in inlets adjacent to i) routes for medium-sized passenger ferries; ii) berths (small marinas) with small boats; and iii) references. Species with high preference ...
