Morphological variation and Taxonomic validation of gill raker characteristics in Caspian marine shad (Clupeidae: Alosa braschnikowi)
نویسندگان
چکیده مقاله:
We used 50 specimens of Alosa braschnikowi (A. brschnikowi) to study the growth effect on Gill raker morphology. Gill rakers counted as 26-47 which increased in relation to increase in TL (P<0.05). Gill raker lengths and the length:width ratio decreased with a high coefficient of relationships (R2=0.818 and 0.634 subsequently) regarding the increase of TL. The proportion of gill raker length to gill filament length decreased with increased TL. Results indicated selective filter feeding behavior of A. braschnikowi and variation of gill raker morphological characteristics with TL increase during growth.

Feeding habits of Caspian marine shad Alosa braschnikowii (Borodin, 1904), inhabiting in the western part of Caspian Sea such as prey spectrum and seasonal dynamics have been studied. As in other parts of Caspian Sea, throughout the year, the main hunt of Caspian marine shad constituted kilkas, gobies and shrimps while other groups of zoobenthos were represented in a lesser extent. Importance o...

متن کاملDevelopment of ultrasound detection in American shad (Alosa sapidissima).
It has recently been shown that a few fish species, including American shad (Alosa sapidissima; Clupeiformes), are able to detect sound up to 180 kHz, an ability not found in most other fishes. Initially, it was proposed that ultrasound detection in shad involves the auditory bullae, swim bladder extensions found in all members of the Clupeiformes. However, while all clupeiformes have bullae, n...
متن کاملAllis shad (Alosa alosa) exhibit an intensity-graded behavioral response when exposed to ultrasound.
Most fish cannot hear frequencies above 3 kHz, but a few species belonging to the subfamily Alosinae (family Clupeidae) can detect intense ultrasound. The response of adult specimens of the European allis shad (Alosa alosa) to sinusoidal ultrasonic pulses at 70 and 120 kHz is tested. The fish showed an intensity-graded response to the ultrasonic pulses with a response threshold between 161 and ...
