The Middle East contains a great diversity of Capoeta species, but their taxonomy remains poorly described. We used mitochondrial history to examine diversity of the algae-scraping cyprinid Capoeta in Iran, applying the species-delimiting approaches General Mixed Yule-Coalescent (GMYC) and Poisson Tree Process (PTP) as well as haplotype network analyses. Using the BEAST program, we also examine...

This study was performed to determine infection and pathologies of the parasites (Myxobolus cyprini Lamproglena pulchella) on three different fish species (Barbus lacerta, Capoeta trutta umbla) caught in Wildlife. The for this were transported laboratory accordance with ethical rules investigated parasites. According results, two parasite identified. Myxobolus found soft tissue pectoral fins as...

Capoeta trutta, a species of cyprinid with economic importance thriving in fresh water, is considered to hold substantial potential for commercial growth Turkey and Iraq. In recent years, it has been observed that there decrease the populations this species, which lives naturally Euphrates Tigris river systems. For long-term fishing conservation strategies, necessary determine genetic structure...

The host specificity and distribution of Eubothrium crassum (Bloch, 1779) and Eubothrium salvelini (Schrank, 1790), morphologically fairly similar pseudophyllidean tapeworms parasitizing salmonid fish, were critically assessed on the basis of morphological and genetic evaluation of extensive material collected from different definitive hosts and geographical regions in Europe. Eubothrium crassu...

In this study growth characteristics of 815 tuwini (Capoeta trutta) in Shour River were investigated during July 2010 through June 2011. The population was composed of 62.94% females and 32.02% males. Sex ratio was 1: 1.96, with significant differences observed at 1:1 (x2= 150.6 df= 1 p < 0.05). The age distribution of this population ranged from
