Bay anchovy (Anchoa mitchilli) have been reported in several systems to display net up-estuary larval movements, against the mean flow. However, the means by which such transport occurs is poorly understood. We address how estuarine circulation and larval behaviors serve to transport larvae of the bay anchovy. In two successive summer seasons, we conducted multiple near-synoptic samples of larv...

In order to solve the long period of drying method in river sediment conditions, an image acquisition device which installed in the lead fish existing in Cableway river is designed. This new device sinks into the pre-set the vertical position, when the computer of bank workstation issuing control commands, the camera in lead fish started to sample recording in the water, and image transfer to t...

there are different methods for controling the flood damages which one of them is flood zoning. in this method, flood zones are determined by simulating river hydraulic behavior and its flood plain for different return periods.in other hand, soil and specially plant coverage are the most effective factor to determine manning roughness coefficient. so it is expected, seasonal plant coverage chan...
