this study was conducted to estimating the amount of non-standard sizes (with lengths less than lm50) fishes of shrimp trawls in the hormozgan province coastal water during shrimp fishing season. sampling was carried out using the tabas otriger commercial trawler during 55 hauls. eight commercially valuable species including pampus argenteus, parastromateus niger, plicofollis dussumieri, saurid...

Introduction: Heavy metal pollution is one of the most serious environmental issues globally.In this research we were studied the heavy metal concentrations in sediment and fish in Persian gulf. Materials & Methods For determination of heavy metal concentrations in sediments 8 sampling stations were selected to measure Cd, Zn, Ni, Pb and Fe in the sediments and in the muscle tiss...

Effects of age at first capture (tc) and fishing (F) as well as natural mortalities (M) on yield and biomass-per-recruit of tiger tooth croacker, Otolithes ruber were evaluated in the northwest of the Persian Gulf using the Beverton-Holt model. The yield-per-recruit (Y/R) was 175 (g/r), which was less than maximum yield-per-recruit value (217 (g/r)) at fishing mortality of 1 year-1. Current ...

The effects of chitosan (2%) coating combined with green tea extract (GTE) (1%) on the quality of tiger-tooth croaker (Otolithes ruber) fillets including chemical, microbiological, texture, color and sensory properties during 16 days of refrigerated storage was investigated. The color changes were significantly retared, and the texture parameteres and sensory scores were significantly improved ...

  Estimates of age, growth parameters, length-weight relationship and length and age at first maturity of the otolithes ruber are required for fishery management. We used counting annuli on the section of sagittal otoliths to age O.ruber from the Northwest Persian Gulf in south of Iran. Estimated ages ranged from 0 to 6 years, and maximum frequency of fishes was observed in age-group 1. The val...
