In this study, the shape and size differences between 30 samples of Garra rufa and Garra variabilis species captured in Tigris River were investigated by using geometric morphometric methods. According to the results of this study, there is no difference between these two species in terms of size (CS); however, they are quite different from each other in terms of shape and this difference is si...

garra rufa , a bottom dwelling freshwater fish and native to the middle east, is distributed in the southwestern of iran and the tigris basin. considering the importance of length-weight relationships data of a species in different habitats, the length-weight relationship of g. rufa from 13 rivers in the persian gulf and the tigris basins was explored. the value of exponent b ranged from 2.74 t...

Six highly variable microsatellite loci were used to investigate the genetic diversity and population structure of the Garra rufa in Kermanshah and Bushehr provinces, Iran. All of the 6 microsatellite loci screened in this study showed polymorphism. A total of 90 individual fish from 3 populations were genotyped and 60 alleles were observed in all loci. The number of alleles per locus ranged fr...
