Background: Present study was conducted to measure the level of total mercury (tHg) in sediments, benthos and benthivorous fish (i.e., common carp) for determining Biota (Benthos)-Sediment Accumulation Factor (BSAF), as well as Biomagnification Factor (BMF) of tHg between two trophic levels of benthos and benthivorous fish caught from Sanandaj Gheshlagh Reservoir (SGR) in the west of Iran. Met...

  Wild common carp of the Caspian Sea is one of the important fish in the north of Iran, which has been introduced to inland aquaculture. Its genetic characteristics are investigated to set up for breeding programs that are still unknown. Using wild common carp in aquaculture is limited for uncontrolled variation in performance of fish derived from undomesticated breeders. A 7×7 factorial matin...

this survey was aimed at detecting histological and histometrical changes of common carp ovaries in khouzestan province climate conditions. the goal was to determine the ovarian status in the breeding period of the reproductive cycle. ovaries of 49 common carp brooders were collected from april to october, 2010. the samples were taken from the anterior, median and posterior portions. 5-6µ secti...

common carp ( cyprinus carpio ) population has been declined in the caspian sea in the recent years, mainly due to human manipulation. this valuable species needs to be protected in the caspian sea. considering the commercial value of common carp, its rehabilitation program has been established. in the present study, 8 microsatellite loci were used to assess genetic variation and population str...

Serbian aquaculture is practiced in warmwater (carp) farms, coldwater (trout) cage systems, recirculating systems (RAS) and fish tanks. The total area under carp farms (ponds) registered by the Statistical Office of Republic Serbia (SORS) last fourteen years has varied between 6,192 8,940 ha, while trout was 33,255 m2 81,411 m2. Total production over 5,070 tons, recorded 2017 8,195 tons market ...
