This study was carried out to determine the population parameters of Garra rufa in Merzimen Stream, Euphrates River Basin between May and November 2013. A total 365 specimens were caught by electro shocker. The age sampled ranged from 0 V groups. Total length weight varied 2.9 16.8 cm with a mean 9.67±3.52 0.21 69.27 g 15.69±14.75 g, respectively. length-weight relationship obtained as W=0.0124...

The effect of ferroelectric poling on the adsorption characteristics of water at lithium niobate surfaces is investigated by ab initio calculations. Thereby we model the adsorption of H2O monomers, small water clusters, and water thin films on the LiNbO3(0001) surface. The adsorption configuration and energy are determined as a function of the surface coverage on both the positive and negative ...

samples from the kidney of 100 diseased fish with signs of haemorrhagic septicemia and 50 samples from outlet water of fish farms were taken aseptically and cultured. in the laboratory, 75 colonies of gram-negative bacteria were biochemically diagnosed as motile aeromonads in our bacteriology laboratory unit using api 20e rapid identification system. the genotype identification using specific p...

commercial utilization of black mouth croaker (atrobucca nibe) is in progress in iran. this study was carried out to assess the physicochemical and sensory evaluation of minced fish and surimi prepared from small size of a. nibe, which is not common for human consumption. the surimi proximate composition contains protein (14.77±0.506%), lipid (0.94±0.081%), ash (0.58±0.007%) contents and yield ...
