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...

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...

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 ...

the heavy metals concentrations including zinc, copper, lead and cadmium (zn, cu, pb and cd) in water and sediments in gorgan bay and their accumulation in rutilus frisii kutum, acipenser persicus, rutilus rutilus caspicus and cyprinus carpio organs (gills, muscle, kidney and liver) were investigated. there was substantial increase in concentration of heavy metals ingoing from the water to the ...

kutum, rutilus frisii kutum, is an commercially important fish in the caspian sea. the fish enters the rivers leading to the caspian sea for spawning. one of these rivers is shiroud river. in the artificial propagation process of kutum, different factors are involved in quality and quantity of female broods eggs and also in the best temperature and migration time for spawning. the influence of ...

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...
