this study conducted to provide the status of parasite communities of four sturgeon species viz. acipenser stellatus , a. gueldenstaedtii , a. nudiventris , and huso huso in the southwest of the caspian sea and their histopathological effects on the examined fishes. for this purpose a total of 93 individuals of four sturgeon species were caught in two fisheries regions from the southwest of the...

in this research, acute toxicity (lc) of zinc oxide nanoparticle on beluga (huso huso) andcommon carp (cyprinus carpio) was studied. the experiment was conducted using theorganization for economic co-operation and development (no. 202) method. for bothspecies, 96hlc10 was determined to be more than 200 mg/l. to assess the effects of zinc oxidenanoparticles on blood factors, leukocyte index coun...

the study was performed to examine the efficacy of ginger (zingiber officinale) extract on growth performance, biochemical and hemato-immunological parameters in juvenile beluga (huso huso). fish were divided into 4 groups before fed diet for 8 weeks with 0.5%, 1% and 1.5% ginger extract and with unsupplemented commercial diet as the control. results showed that there was a significant differen...

in present study, it was determinated lc50 96-h and toxicity degree of diazinon in huso huso, then were evaluated effects of sub-lethal concentrations on tow general enzymatic indices including alanine and aspartate aminotransferase of plasma and one specific enzymatic index including tissue ache enzyme. the median lethal concentration, lowest observed effect concentration and maximum allowable...

Background: Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are a predominant group of contaminants that have been shown to accumulate and persist in marine organisms. We evaluated the dose-dependent induction of the cytochrome P4501A (CYP1A) system in the Sturgeon fish, Huso huso after after exposure to PAHs, beta-naphthoflavone (BNF) and 3- methylcholantheren. Methods: The fish were treated by i.p...
