this checklist aims to reviews and summarize the results of the systematic and zoogeographical research on the iranian inland ichthyofauna that has been carried out for more than 200 years. since the work of j.j. heckel (1846-1849), the number of valid species has increased significantly and the systematic status of many of the species has changed, and reorganization and updating of the publish...

the isolation-by-distance theory states that the genetic differentiation between individuals raised by increasing geographic distance. therefore, this study tested this hypothesis for garra rufa , a freshwater fish species of iranian inland waters, from six rivers located at the different distances in tirgis basin. for this purpose, eight variable microsatellite loci were applied to identify ge...

The paper highlights the fish diversity in major wetlands of Mysore district, Karnataka, India and its conservation status. Forty-five species of fishes belonging to 15 families, 31 genera have been identified. Fish species belonging to genus Puntius were more common in many of these lakes. However it was observed that the fish diversity was decreasing since last two years unprecedently mainly ...

The study and research of abundance and diversity variation of fish larva (Ichthyoplankton stages) was done in Gowatr Bay during autumn 2006 - summer 2007. Five stations were selected for sampling, and Bongo-Net with 300µ mesh size was towing from bottom to surface. During of survey, totally 531 larvae belong to 11 families were collected and identified. The mean abundance estimated 12.17 larva...

Impacts of effluent from fish farming activities on fluvial ecosystems lead to deterioration of water quality and changes in the macroinvertebrates assemblage. In this study, the influence of fish farm effluents on water quality and macroinvertebrates communities of Tajan River was investigated to evaluate the suitability of macroinvertebrates based on biological metrics and indices. Benthic...
