the length-weight relationships for three fish species from beheshtabad river, karun river drainage (western chaharmahal and bakhtiari provinces, iran) were investigated. the values of the slope parameter ( b ) in the length-weight relationship equations were determined as 2.79 for capoeta damascina , 3.10 for chondrostoma regium and 3.09 for oncorhynchus mykiss , all of which were significantl...

this study describes the length-weight and length-length relationships for 28 populations of garra ruffa in different basins of iran, including tigris, karkheh, karun, persis and hormuz. the length-weight relationships from most localities are reported here for the first time. for most populations the b value was not significantly different from 3, indicating an isometric growth, in a few, it w...

length weight relationships of vimba vimba persa were studied. for this purpose 174 fish samples were collected by gill nets, beach seine and purse seine from march through june 2008 at two guilan fisheries catch stations of guilan located in anzali- kiyashahr regions. samples were immediately transferred to the laboratory of fish biology at university of guilan for further analyses. length, we...

Allometric growth is found in many tagging systems online. That is, the number of new tags (T ) is a power law function of the active population (P ), or T ∼ P γ (γ 6= 1). According to previous studies, it is the heterogeneity in individual tagging behavior that gives rise to allometric growth. These studies consider the power-law distribution model with an exponent β, regarding 1/β as an index...

Population growth (length-weight relationship), and reproductive potential (e.g. fecundity, and sex-ratio) of five important fish species (‘mola’: Amblypharyngodon mola, ‘puti’: Puntius sophore, ‘tengra’: Mystus vittatus, ‘shing’: Heteropneustes fossilis and ‘taki’: Channa punctatus) collected from two important fresh water bodies (nam...

The aim of this study was to investigate the influence of MHS genotype on growth and development of muscle and fatty tissue in pig hams. The investigation was performed on 72 barrows divided into 4 groups according to genotype (NN and Nn) and feeding regime (standard and intensive). The data for analyses were collected by MRT imaging; the coefficients of allometric growth were calculated using ...

Abstract Scomberoides commersonnianus is one of the commercially important fishes of the family Carangidae. In this study, 563 specimens (292 males, 247 females, and 24 sexually unknown ones) were collected from the north-west of the Persian Gulf. Length-weight relationships and condition factors were determined for each sex in four length classes within different seasons. In general, the growt...

Surface lignite coal mines in east Texas are commonly reforested using loblolly pine (Pinus taeda L.) following mining and reclamation activities. Due to the nature of such an extreme disturbance, altered growth patterns, growth rates, and productivity could be expected. We destructively sampled aboveand belowground tissue to develop prediction equations specific to these sites. These predictio...
