[ 1 ] - Contribution to the molecular systematics of the genus Capoeta from the south Caspian Sea basin using mitochondrial cytochrome b sequences (Teleostei: Cyprinidae)

Traditionally, Capoeta populations from the southern Caspian Sea basin have been considered as Capoeta capoeta gracilis. Study on the phylogenetic relationship of Capoeta species using mitochondrial cytochrome b gene sequences show that Capoeta population from the southern Caspian Sea basin is distinct species and receive well support (posterior probability of 100%). Based on the tree topologie...

[ 2 ] - Molecular systematics and distribution review of the endemic cyprinid species, Persian chub, Acanthobrama persidis (Coad, 1981) in Southern Iran (Teleostei: Cyprinidae)

The Iranian Persian chub is an endemic species of the family Cyprinidae known only from few localities in drainages of Southern Iran. It was originally described in the genus Pseudophoxinus as (Pseudophoxinus persidis) and then Petroleuciscus (as Petroleuciscus persidis). In this study, we examined phylogenetic relationships of the Iranian Persian chubwith other relatives in the family Cyprinid...

[ 3 ] - Karyological and molecular analysis of three endemic loaches (Actinopterygii: Cobitoidea) from Kor River basin, Iran

This study provides new data on chromosomal characteristics and DNA barcoding of three endemic loaches of Iran: spiny southern loach Cobitis linea (Heckel, 1847), Persian stream loach Oxynoemacheilus persa (Heckel, 1848) and Tongiorgi stream loach Oxynoemacheilus tongiorgii (Nalbant & Bianco, 1998). The chromosomes of these fishes were investigated by examining metaphase chromosome spreads obta...

[ 4 ] - کاربرد نمایه‌های خرس قهوه‌ای ‏ ‏(‏Ursus arctos‏) در شناسایی گستره پراکنش ‏آن و نوع خسارات وارده در استان فارس

خرس قهوه­ای (Ursus arctos) بزرگترین حیوان گوشتخوار ایران می­باشد که در قاره­های آسیا، اروپا و آمریکای شمالی زیست می­کند. در ایران پراکنش این گونه محدود به نواحی جنگلی رشته کوه­های البرز و زاگرس بوده و مرز جنوبی پراکنش آن در استان فارس واقع می­باشد. خرس قهوه­ای ایران متعلق به زیرگونه‌ سوری (U. a. syriacus) می‌باشد که دارای جمعیت‌های گسسته و در معرض خطر بوده و همچنین اطلاعات اند...

[ 5 ] - Shape variation of the Indian Ocean slender mudskipper, Scartelaos tenuis (Day, 1876) from the Persian Gulf and Oman Sea (Gobioidei: Gobiidae)

The shape diversity among populations of Scartelaos tenuis (Day 1876) from five stations (194 specimens) in the Persian Gulf, Strait of Hormuz (Qeshm Island), and the Sea of Oman were investigated. The shape variation was assessed by geometric morphometrics, using 14 morphological landmarks. The two sexes were not distinguishable by the shape. Fish samples were classified into two distinct grou...

[ 6 ] - Morphological characteristics of Parsi cichlid Iranocichla persa (Teleostei; Cichlidae)

To provide more morphological data of I. persa, in this study, morphological characteristics along with scales and otolith were studied. Fish samples were collected from Khorgo spring and transferred to the laboratory. Fish were classified into three class sizes based on standard length. Based on the results, the size of the first class was different in 12 relative traits but did not show a sig...

[ 7 ] - Estimation of Coral fish Standing Biomass in Hengam Island, The Persian Gulf

 Standing biomass of coral fish was estimated by the Underwater Visual Census method(UVCm) and belt transect in five stations (St.) (dead corals, continuous and developed reefs, discrete and undeveloped reefs, Acropora spp. in small amounts and rocky reefs), in Larak Island from Sep.2020 to Apr.2021seasonally.The maximum and minimum of standing biomass was estimated  908.79 (Kg/Km2) and 235.85 ...
