this study was aimed to investigate some feeding characteristics of kura barb (barbus lacerta) from bibi-sayydan river of semirom, isfahan. for this purpose, during august 2010 to july 2011, some 445 specimens of the kura barb fish were caught using a seine net and a cast net and transferred to the fisheries laboratory on ice for further examinations. the results showed that the condition facto...

The phylogenetic relationships and haplotype diversity of all Iberian barbels were examined by analyzing the complete mitochondrial cytochrome b gene sequence (1141 bp) of 72 specimens from 59 Iberian localities. Phylogenetic findings demonstrated a clear distinction between two mitochondrial lineages and confirmed the existence of two previously considered subgenera: Barbus and Luciobarbus: Th...

Pomphorhynchus laevis is a common fish parasite in Europe which   has been reported from Acipenser stellatus, Barbus capito, Barbus lacerta, Barbus mursa and Onchorhynchus mykiss in Iran. In a survey on the aquaculture potential of Gamasiab River in Hamedan Province, endemic fish parasites were investigated in summer and autumn 2008. After recording biometric characteristics, common necropsy an...

the geometric morphometrics method was applied to study the morphological differences in 95 specimens of kura barbel (barbus lacerta, heckel 1834) collected from three riverine ecosystems of the sefidrud basin, viz. taleghan, totkabon and kloraz rivers.  for this purpose, the left sides of the specimens were photographed. then, 14 landmark-points were defined and digitized on 2d pictures using ...

Natural fish species living in the Euphrates River System; It is subject to some pressures such as overfishing, competition with invasive and habitat loss. As a result of these pressures, it leads decrease endemic native species. At beginning are belonging Barbus Cuvier & Cloquet, 1816 Luciobarbus Heckel, 1843 genera, which have high economic importance. In this study, phylogenetic analysis...
