Purpose: Increasing salt of water is a world-wide problem, heavy metals belonging to the most important matrials. The progress of industries has led to increased emission of pollutants and salt of water into ecosystems. Tajan is one of navigable river in the Northh of Iran. Along the Tajan agricultural industries units such as piping, steel, paint making, paper mill, fish cultivation, abbottior...

The objectives of this study were to assess the biological water of the Iranian Tajan River using different metrics, i.e., a Multimetric Macroinvertebrate Index (MMI) and a traits-based method. Twenty-eight physico-chemical parameters, 10 habitat factors, and abundance of macroinvertebrates were obtained for 17 sites. The Shahid-Rajaie dam divides the Tajan River into an up- and downstream part...

Pesticides are used extensively in agricultural lands in Northern provinces of Iran which makes river ecosystems more vulnerable to pesticides pollution. This study was conducted in three river estuaries (Babolrud, Tajanrud and Gorganrud), focusing mainly on the concentration levels of organophosphate pesticides (diazinon, malathion, azinphos-methyl) in the muscle tissue of golden mullet fish, ...

mahi sefid (cyprinidae) is an economically important fish in the south caspian sea. specimens was collected from the lamir river, sefid rud, shir rud and tajan rivers and analyzed at 38 microsatellite dna loci. eight primers out of the thirty analyzed loci were polymorphic in all sampling regions. the highest observed heterozygosity (1) was in locus ca1 in sefid rud and lowest was 0.07 in locus...

  Mahisefid is the most popular fish in Iran with the highest economic value. The analysis of mitochondrial DNA has been extensively used as a marker for population genetic studies and is a powerful tool in studies of gene flow and evolutionary biology. Two hundred ninety four samples were collected from Sefid Rud River (100), Lamir River (98), Shir Rud River (48) and Tajan River (4...

the distribution of macroinvertebrate communities from 5 sampling sites of the tajan river were used to examine the relationship among physiochemical parameters with macroinvertebrate communities and also to assess ecological classification system as a tool for the management and conservation purposes. the amount of variation explained in macroinvertebrate taxa composition is within values repo...

in order to study the residues of phosphorous insecticides in mazandaran district of iran, ethion, azinphosmethyl, diazinon and malathion four most used pesticides were chosen and river water samples were collected in april to sept. 2000, throughout the mazandaran state. thin layer chromatography was used, since it was the best applicable method in area with reasonably high level of sensitivity...

this study presents data on age structure, sex ratio, growth, length-weight relationships and condition factor of four populations (n=312) of  two alburnoides species, collected in 2005 and 2006 from the tajan river (caspian sea basin), the ghara-chai and jajrud rivers (namak lake basin), and cheshmeh-ali spring (kavir basin) of iran. sex ratio of the fish, in the studied localities, except in ...
