a fish species prefer a particular habitat where provides its biological requirements, hence, understanding their habitat use and preferences are crucial for their effective management and protection. this study was conducted to assess the habitat use and selection patterns of alburnoides namaki , an endemic fish in jajroud river, namak lake basin, iran. the river was sampled at 18 equally spac...

The present study represents a comprehensive molecular assessment of some family of freshwater fishes in Iran. We analyzed cytochrome oxidase I (COI) sequences for five genus of cypriniform fishes from Iran. The present investigation provides data on genetic structure of some species of Nemachilidae including Paraschistura bampurensis, Oxynoemacheilus kiabii and Turcinemacheilus saadii and Leuc...

BACKGROUND: The plerocercoid stage of Pseudophyllideancestoda infected a wide range of fresh water fish,particularly the members of the Cyprinidae family. The parasitespecies are the most common pathogens that have severe effectson fish. OBJECTIVES: The aim of the present study is todetermine the occurrence and distribution of the plerocercoid ofDiphyllobothriidae in two freshwater fish from no...

length-weight relationship and condition factor were estimated in seven fish species, including barbus cyri, capoeta gracilis, alburnoides eichwaldii, pseudorasbora parva, ponticola cyrius, cobitis keyvani and acanthalburnus microlepis from shahrbijar river, guilan province, iran. a total of 416 specimens ranging from 18 to 135 mm in total length and from 0.06 to 19.25 g in total weight were co...

this study presents data on age structure, sex ratio, growth, length-weight relationships and condition factor of four populations (n=312) of  two alburnoides species, collected in 2005 and 2006 from the tajan river (caspian sea basin), the ghara-chai and jajrud rivers (namak lake basin), and cheshmeh-ali spring (kavir basin) of iran. sex ratio of the fish, in the studied localities, except in ...
