heterophyidosis is a fish-transmitted disease in khuzestan province, therefore a total of 900 fresh water fishes belonging to cyprinus carpio, liza abtt and gambosia affinis, were collected from canals of mazreeh district in the central area of khuzestan. in 44%, metaccrcariae of three small flukes of human including haplorchis taickut, haplorchis pumilio, stellanichasmus falcamtus were found. ...

this paper presents a total of 11 known crustacean parasite species from 51 host species belonging to 7 families, with 17 genera reported from cultured and wild fishes in three faunal regions of iran. among them, one belonging to branchiura order, namely argulus foliaceus, was found on capoeta capoeta in makoo reservoir as well as on cyprinus carpio, chalcalburnus sp., hypophthalmichthys molitr...

We correlated maximum lengths of freshwater fishes captured during 10 years with standard gears (i.e., gill nets, boat electrofishers and trap nets) and angling from Nebraska water bodies to determine which methodology provided better estimates of maximum size of fishes produced within a given water body. In general, maximum length of fishes captured with standard gears was smaller than maximum...

the fish assemblage and diversity in relation to water quality of three coastal rivers sita, swarna and varahi of udupi district, karnataka, india was studied. 71 species representing 7 orders, 20 families and 41 genera were recorded from 21 sites along the three rivers. species composition varied longitudinally in relation to the environmental factors of the habitat. the downstream change in t...

The upper Gila River basin is one of the few unimpounded drainage basins west of the Continental Divide, and as such is a stronghold for endemic fishes in the region. Nevertheless, multiple nonindigenous fishes potentially threaten the persistence of native fishes, and little is known of the trophic ecology of either native or nonnative fishes in this system. Gut contents and stable isotopes (C...

A comparative study on the fatty acids contents of three Malaysian marine fishes Tenualosa toli (Terubok), Rastrelliger kanagurta (Kembong), Stolephorus baganensis (Bilis) and three freshwater fishes Channa striatus (Haruan), Pangasius hypothalamus (Patin), Clarias macrocephalus (Keli) were carried out. Marine fishes showed more unsaturated fatty acids with 3, 4, 5 and 6 double bonds than in fr...

A total of one hundred and twenty Clarias gariepinus comprising 30 dead and 30 live fishes were examined for protozoan parasites infestation, sixty each from the wild and a pond (cultured environment) over a period of six months. Ichthyophthirius multifiliis was the most common protozoan parasites found in C. gariepinus from the wild (River Benue) and cultured (pond) environments. These protozo...

Triplophysa fishes are the primary component of the fish fauna on the Tibetan Plateau and are well adapted to the high-altitude environment. Despite the importance of Triplophysa fishes on the plateau, the genetic mechanisms of the adaptations of these fishes to this high-altitude environment remain poorly understood. In this study, we generated the transcriptome sequences for three Triplophysa...
