the objective of the present study was to determine chemical composition and fatty acid profile of common kilka ,clupeonella cultriventris caspia, in the caspian sea. the chemical analysis revealed that the protein and lipid content of common kilka were 15.05 and 6.5% of the fresh weight, and total mufa, pufa and sfa were found to be 37.00, 32.89 and 29.03% respectively. palmitic acid (16:0) am...

The article considers studying the physiological and biochemical parameters of common sprat (Clupeonella delicatula caspia Svetovidov) taken in western part Middle Caspian Sea at different periods annual cycle. There were studied species pre-spawning state, beginning spawning, feeding stage pre-wintering stage. 
 In fish muscle tissue content water-soluble protein total lipids was determin...

In current study, protein hydrolysates were produced using microbial proteases of Alcalase, Protamex and Flavourzyme from by-products (head, skin and viscera) of Alosa (Alosa caspia), a major Clupeonella species in the Caspian Sea. The results indicated that the protein hydrolysate from Alcalase, had the highest protein content (78.91%), protein recovery (80.42%) and degree of hydrolysis (21.06...

Phylogenetic relationships among five species of Alosa (Alosa maeotica, A. tanaica, A. caspia, A. immaculata and A. fallax nilotica) was examined with sequence analyses of mtDNA ND5/6 region. In pairwise comparision, the highest genetic differences were observed between A. caspia and A. tanaica (0.691), and lowest between A. maeotica and A. tanaica (0.491). In minimum evolution tree, two phylog...

Climate change and invasive species can both have negative impacts on native species diversity. Additionally, climate change has the potential to favor invasive species over natives, dealing a double blow to native biodiversity. It is, therefore, vital to determine how changing climate conditions are directly linked to demographic rates and population growth of non-native species so we can quan...
