this study was conducted to determine the effects of administration of different concentration of aloe vera crud extract (ace) as a food supplement on growth performance, immune response and disease resistance against aeromonas hydrophila (chester) infection in cyprinus carpio. 360 juvenile c.carpio were randomly divided into four equal groups in triplicates. groups 1 to 4 were fed by basal foo...

the present study provides the data on the population parameters of an endemic qanat spirlin, alburnoides qanati from the endorheic kor river basin of iran to assess the stock status of this cyprinid fish species, which is highly important from management and conservation points of views. fish specimens (387) were collected from moshkan stream, kor river basin, iran in 2011-2012. asymptotic len...

abstarct at the present study effects of salinity were studied on growth and feeding performance, survival rate and blood biochemical parameters of pre on-growing rainbow trout (oncorhynchus mykiss) with initial weight 93.22±4.11 g for 60 days. after adaptation for 10 days to water salinity, 450 fish were distributed in 5 treatments and 3 replicates according to completely randomized design. be...

Pauly (1980. J. Cons. Int. Explor. Mer, 39: 175–192) showed that natural mortality rates in fish could be predicted from body growth parameters and environmental temperature but found no evidence for ecological or taxonomic influences. Using an updated database and techniques that avoid some of the earlier analytical problems, we confirm Pauly’s conclusion that mortality is correlated with grow...

the objectives of this study were to determine the age, growth, mortality and exploitation of a commercially important fish of northeastern mediterranean sea, mullus barbatus from the karatas coast of iskenderun bay during september 2002 and april 2003. a total of 212 specimens of red mullet were collected by monthly sampling using traditional bottom trawl net by commercial vessel (coskun reis,...
