The Persian sturgeon, Acipenser persicus (Borodin, 1897), is an economically important species, which mainly inhabits the Caspian Sea. However, little is known about its population genetic structure. In this study, variation in nucleotide sequences of the mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) control region of wild stock Persian sturgeon was determined to assess the genetic diversity among different natura...

In this paper twelve different empirical resistance coefficients expressed in terms of Manning's roughness are used apiece in seventeen known compositing methods. The data obtained from ten different cross-sections of the Sefidrood River, Iran, are used for the evaluation of the empiricalformulas. The present case-study is selected from a reach with gravel bed topology. Then no remarkable bed f...

in the management of river basins, prediction of river water quality is essential to maintain water quality within standard limits. this study performed a time-series analysis of the prediction of chlorine concentration and electrical conductivity time series data for the period of 1991-2005 from sefidrood river in northern iran. the seasonal prediction of chlorine and electrical conductivity t...

The lack of observed streamflow datasets for calibration rainfall-runoff models imposes substantial problems their applicability, especially in poorly gauged or ungauged river basins. Developing satellite technologies and increasing computational powers over the past decades, have provided an environment researchers to simulate several water balance components globally using these assimilation ...

 Mahisefid, Rutilus frisii kutum , is a cyprinid fish which is distributed from Turkmenistan to Azerbaijan along the Caspian Sea. It is one of the economically important fish in the region. As part of the Iranian Fisheries Company’s policy to improve the stocks of this species, every year, fingerling of Mahisefid are released into the southern basin of the Caspian Sea. The main objective of thi...
