This study provides fundamental information on some key aspects of the reproductive traits of qanati tailor fish, Alburnoides qanati, an Iranian endemic, poorly studied cyprinid fish species. Sampling was performed on a monthly basis during one year (from March 2011 through February 2012) from a tributary of endorheic Kor River Basin, Southern Iran. The results of data analyzing showed that the...

the present study provides the data on the population parameters of an endemic qanat spirlin, alburnoides qanati from the endorheic kor river basin of iran to assess the stock status of this cyprinid fish species, which is highly important from management and conservation points of views. fish specimens (387) were collected from moshkan stream, kor river basin, iran in 2011-2012. asymptotic len...

inter- and intra-population variations of a recently described endemic cyprinid fish alburnoides qanati coad and bogutskaya, 2009 collected from three localities in the kor river basin, iran, were studied by applying morphometric and meristic characters using canonical discriminate function analysis (dfa), principal component analysis (pca) and cluster analysis (ca). in dfa, the overall random ...

This study aims to provide a summary of the most common procedures and how fish quality varies from harvest plate. Fish is frequently seen as challenging culinary product due its proclivity for spoilage, oxidation, development off-flavours result improper treatment. Several variables have major impact on nutritional sensory preservation. In this study, widely utilized storing preservation metho...

Tailor-made blanks are sheet metal assemblies with different thicknesses and/or materials and/or surface coatings. A monolithic sheet can be machined to make the required thickness variations that is referred as tailor machined blanks. Due to the thickness variation in tailor machined blanks, laser bending of these blanks is more complicated than monolithic plates. In this article, laser formin...

The ability to observe and predict trawling-induced patterns at spatial and temporal scales that are relevant to inform realistic management strategies is a challenge which scientists have consistently faced in recent decades. Here, we use fish feeding behaviour, a biological trait easily impaired by trawling disturbance, to depict alterations in fish condition (i.e. individual fitness) and fee...

in this paper, the deep drawing process of tailor welded blanks is simulated using the finite element modelling and verified using the experimental results available in the literature. then the effect of die and material properties on the welding line movement is investigated. it is seen that the most effective material parameters on weld line movement are different between sheet metal thicknes...
