Length-Based Spawning Potential Ratio (LB-SPR) model was applied to describe the status of Javelin grunter, Pomadasys kaakan in the Persian Gulf and Oman Sea. From April 2002 to March 2019. 45,489 specimens were collected from fish landing sites monthly, and their length (FL) and weight were measured. The results of the present study showed that different gears captured most of the P. kaakan be...

African yam bean (Sphenostylis stenocarpa) is an underexploited legume with the potential of becoming an alternative food staple to alleviate the problem of food security. An assessment was carried out on the growth and yield of AYB affected by Telfairia mosaic virus (TeMV) Infection. Telfairia mosaic virus caused severe mosaic, leaf distortion and malformation on AYB. Analyses of results revea...

the objective of the present study was to estimate genetic parameters and genetic trends of growth traits , fleece weight and reproductive traits. data collected from 1993 to 2007 by the kermani breeding station were analyzed .traits were included birth weight (bw, n=2614), 3 months weight (3mw,n=2312), 6 months weight (6mw, n=1890), 9 months weight (9mw,n=1380) and 12 months weight (12mw,n=105...

Saccharina (Laminaria) is one of the most important economic seaweeds. Previously, four genetic linkage maps of Saccharina have been constructed and five QTLs have been identified. However, they were not enough for its breeding. In this work, Saccharina longissima (♀) and Saccharina japonica (♂), which showed obvious differences in morphology and genetics, were applied in hybridization to yield...

this study was conducted to evaluate the quality of the red flesh apples and golab cultivars. two iranian red flesh apples from shahroud and four golab cultivars as well as ‘gala’ as control from damavand were selected in summer 2012. fruit physical characteristics including length, diameter, fresh weight and dry weight, firmness, color and their parameters were evaluated for each cultivar. the...

Purpose This study aims to test a moderated mediation model for twofold purpose. First, examine the mediating role of financial capability (FC) in association between literacy (FL) and well-being (FW). Second, analyze if non-impulsive future-oriented behavior (NIB) moderates associations FL with FC FW. Design/methodology/approach The authors use PROCESS macros IBM SPSS Statistics 2016 wave Hous...

The aim of the study was to assess whether an extra fertilization with manganese, commercial fertilizer Alkalin (N, K and Si), and combined treatment (manganese + Alkalin) affect the chemical composition of chokeberry fruits (Aronia melanocarpa (Michx) Elliot), especially sugar content and the quantity and profile of phenolics. Dry weight, soluble solids, titratable acidity, total sugar, reduci...
