BACKGROUND Aquatic insects are the major groups of arthropods that spend some parts of their life cycle in the water. These insects play an important role for transmission of some human and animal diseases. There is few information about the aquatic insects fauna of Iran. METHODS To study the aquatic insects fauna, adult, nymphal and larval collections were carried out from different habitats...

Abstract The impact of climate change on water availability has become a significant cause for concern in the Zayandeh-Roud Reservoir Iran and similar reservoirs arid regions. This study investigates supply River Basin. For better management, Soil & Water Assessment Tool (SWAT) was used to develop hydrologic model basin. then calibrated validated two upstream stations using Sequential Uncer...

Water quality and metal contents of sediments were measured in Zayandeh-Rood River. Zayandeh-Rood is one of the most important rivers of Iran. The river water is used for drinking, industrial and agricultural purposes. The anthropogenic impact on the river over the last three decade has proven to be extremely negative due to the quick development of industry. Physico-chemical parameters of wate...

Age, growth and reproduction were investigated for Chondrostoma regium, collected monthly (November 2007- August 2008) from the Dimeh Spring region, Zayandeh Roud River, Iran. The maximum age of collected female and male fish were estimated based on scale increments as five and four years respectively. Von Bertalanffy growth equations were calculated as L_t=246[1-e^(-0.206(t-0.034))], W_t=163.2...
