The genus Ambrosia consisting at least 40 species, with numerous intraspecific taxa (Essl et al. 2015). The first observation of Ambrosia from Iran was reported by Mozaffarian (1991). He reported distribution of A. artemisiifolia L.in Bandar-e Anzali (Gilan province, N Iran). Expanding new colonies of Ambrosia species were increasingly observed from road-sides and coastal areas of Bandar-e Anza...

It is estimated that 90% of sewage in cities in developing countries are today discharged untreated into water bodies. The physical, biological, chemical and geologic interactions among different components of the environment that occur within a wetland. Anzali wetland complex is a good example of a natural wetland, characteristic of the South Caspian lowlands. It supports an extremely diverse ...

This paper introduces a mixed integer programming model to find the optimum development plan for port Anzali. The model minimizes total system costs taking into account both port infrastructure costs and shipping costs. Due to the multipurpose function of the port, the model consists of 1020 decision variables and 2490 constraints. Results of the model determine the optimum number of berths tha...

The Caspian Sea and its basin (e.g. Anzali wetland) is one of the natural habitats of wild common carp Cyprinus carpio. In this study the genetic structure of this species. In the south-west of Caspian Sea (the Anzali wetland) was investigated using PCR-RFLP analysis of D-loop region. Two hundred of mature fish were collected from 5 stations (40 individuals from each station) including Siahkesh...

 Todays, the tourism industry, as one of the world's leading industries and as a strong social, cultural and economic force, has the ability to form and transform human societies, and therefore the development of the tourism industry is particularly important. The purpose of this study was to identify and investigate the effective factors on the development of Bandar-e-Anzali Tourism Industry. ...

Bream (Abramis brama, Berg, 1949; Family: Cyprinidae) is commercially valuable fish in the Caspian Sea fishing industry. Iranian Fisheries Organization annually produces and release up to 19 million Bream fries size for recruiting of this species. Its fries are mostly released into the Anzali wetland with 4 ppt salinity. Meanwhile, they sometimes are released into Sefidrood River (0.5 ppt), Sef...

The construction of new breakwaters in Anzali port has had a significant impact on the water body international lagoon. wetland is under threat from sediment influx mountainous regions, and study used satellite image processing to demonstrate how impedes natural transfer lagoon sea. methodology employed hybrid approach combining two methods: normal index (MNDWI) supervised classification (SVM) ...

AB-e-Boshghabi with scientific name of Centella asiatica is among those plants that has valid distribution only in the protection zone of Anzali lagoon. This herb has some active constituents, which categorizes it as a medicinal plant. This herb has been used as an anticancer, antifertility agent, antipsoriatic, an agent for wound healing, etc. This study was designed to identify collection, di...

The Anzali Ramsar Convention wetland is located in an ecologically and economically important region in Iran. The wetland is largely surrounded by agriculture, natural forests and rangelands (approximately 36% and 63%, respectively). Urban areas consist of less than 1% of the total area. Urban land use produces the highest rates of nutrient transfer into the lake as TN, TP and BOD5 equal to 24,...
