This study was carried out between November 2013 and May 2015, to determine the fish fauna inhabited in Atatürk Dam lake. The specimens were obtained by different technical fishing gears. It determined that caught belonging 25 species (Capoeta trutta, Capoeta umbla, Cyprinon macrostomus, Arabibarbus grypus, Carasobarbus luteus, Carassius carassius, gibelio, Cyprinus carpio, Garra variabilis, Lu...

Arabibarbus grypus (Heckel, 1843), which naturally lives in the Euphrates and Tigris River systems is endemic, an economically important fish species consumed by humans. Since population of this species, hunted both fishermen local peo-ple, decreasing day day, its genetic characteristics need to be determined. This study aims determine A. samples living Great Zab based on sequence analysis mtDN...

Estimates of total body water (TBW) play an important role in studies of body composition and energetics in mammals. We evaluated bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) as a means of rapidly and inexpensively estimating TBW in 38 grey seals (Halichoerus grypus). Twenty-two males and 16 females, representing the range of body sizes in the population, were studied at Sable Island, Nova Scotia. Se...

The study was aimed to update the knowledge on fish landings of inland fisheries in Basrah province, Iraq. species composition, and total landings, their trends six landing sites throughout region were evaluated during year 2020-2021. Species compositions included seven cyprinids’ species, three cichlids’ mullet’s two from sparids silurids. exotic C. carpio, tilapias auratus dominated constitut...

With increasing seal populations in the Baltic Sea comes growing interaction between seals and coastal fisheries. The impact of seals, mainly grey ( Halichoerus grypus ), on fisheries can be reduced by implementing seal-safe fishing gear, which hinders access to catches. One successful solution is introduction a modified trap net, pontoon trap. In this study, traps were for use cod Gadus morhua...
