    Details
    Publication Date: 2021-05-19
    Description: Larvae of the chironomid midges (blood worms) are known as use full live food for cultured aquatics. There are endemic blood worms in sediments of the earthponds of Bafgh area at center of Iran. This study tended to identification of two chironomid species, Chironomus aprilinus Meigen, 1830 and Dicrotendipes sudanicus Freeman, 1959 & 1961, from Iran as a new record. Culture of blood worms was successful in glass thanks with 16h. light, at 24-26°C temperature. Eggs were incubated after 14 days. Suitable concentration of harvesting is 1-2 egg masses (1250eggs/m2). Enrichment of earthponds or plastis thanks including sedime is offered for culture of chironomid larvae. Collectors prepared with low cost materials are useful for collection of egg masses. May, June and July are the best time for egg collection. Large blood worms are mainly avalable in winter. Results of body analysis of the larvae indicated high dry matter with good quality.

    Iranian Fisheries Science Research Institute | Tehran, Iran
    Details
    Publication Date: 2021-05-19
    Description: Sediments samples were collected using Veen Grab Sampler (0.1 square meter) at 8 transects namely Astara, Anzali, Sefidroud, Tonekabon, Noshahr, Babolsar, Amirabad, Torkman in the southern of Caspian Sea. Five stations were selected at 5, 10, 20, 50 and 100 meter depths in each transect. Sediments were sampled triplicate at each station. Samples also were collected during four seasons (spring (May), summer (July), fall (November) and winter (January)) in 2009. Results of this study showed that species composition of Macrobenthos consisted of 32 species which belonged to 7 families of Polychaeta, Crustacea and Bivalvia at studied area. In addition, Oligochaeta identified in “Class”, Chironomidae considered in Insecta categories “Family” and Streblospio spp. (Polychaeta) was recognized in “Genus”. Gammaridae and Pseudocumidae of Crustacea with 12 and 10 species had the highest species diversity compared to other groups, respectively. Polychaeta was consisted 75.5 percent of total abundance of macrobenthos which the major abundance (equal 62.4% of total abundance) were belong to Streblospio spp. from Spionidae family, while its biomass was equals 5.11% of total macrobenthos. In contrast, Cerastoderma lamarcki species from Bivalvia Class with only 1.7% of total abundance of macrobenthos allocated 69 percent of total biomass. In the southern of Caspian Sea, average total abundance was significantly less at 4 western transects (Astara, Anzali, Sefidroud, Tonekabon) compared to 4 eastern transects (Noshahr, Babolsar, Amirabad, Torkman) (p〈0.05). The highest average abundance of macrobenthos (10655±1246SE ind/m2) was observed at transect of Torkman, and lowest value (4032 ± 686SE ind/m2) was recorded at transect of Sefidroud (p〈 0.05). Generally, minimum species diversity were obtained at 20 m depth in all transects and the maximum value was observed at 5 m depth in most of transects (p〈0.05). In contrary, maximum average abundance of Macrobenthoses was at 20 m depth in transects of Anzali, Sefidroud, Tonekabon, Nowshahr and Amirabad compared to other depths. Macrobenthoses abundance average in 5 m depth (except Astara and Torkman) was less than other depths in 6 transect (p 〈 0.05). Total average abundance and biomass of macrobenthos was 5976±583SE ind/m2 and 43.675 ± 11.402SE gr/ m2, respectively. Maximum and minimum of abundance of macrobenthos were observed in summer (7714±778 ind/m2) and winter (4071 ± 340 ind/m2), respectively. Maximum and minimum of biomass of macrobenthos were obtained in fall (50.271±13.258SE gr/ m2) and in summer (35.123 ± 8.903SE gr/ m2), respectively (p〈 0.05). Percent of total organic matter (TOM) were low in 5 and 10 m depths and increased toward offshore depths. TOM percent was 2.06±0.11SE at 10 m depth and increased to 4.62 ±0.17SE in 100 m depth. Percent of silt and clay (grains size less than 63 micron) had positive significantly correlation with percent of TOM (p〈0.01).While they had negative significantly correlation with percent of sand (grains size between 63 and 1000 micron) (p〈0.01). Percent of silt and clay like organic matter, had ascending trend toward to depth increased and varied from 44.4 ± 4.06SE percent in 5 m depth to 96.5 ± 0.59SE percent in 100 m depth. In contrast, percent of sand decreased toward depth and varied from 54.5 ± 4.13SE percent in 5 m depth to 2.8 ± 0.53SE percent in 100 m depth. Result of current study showed that total abundance of macrobenthoses had positive significantly correlation with TOM percent (p〈0.01) and silt/clay percent (p〈0.05). Abundance of Oligochaeta had positive significantly correlation (p〈 0.01) with TOM and silt/clay percent. Two groups of Polychaeta, Gammaridae and Cerastoderma lamarcki had negative significantly correlation with TOM and silt/clay percent (p〈 0.01), and every four aforementioned groups had positive significantly correlation with sand percent (p〈 0.01). Overall, different correlation between abundance of various macrobenthos groups and TOM percent and type of grain size of sediment could be related to fluctuation of abundance of various macrobenthos groups at difference transects and depths. On the other hand, in study area were occurred simultaneously some phenomena such as increased abundance of Oligochaeta and Polychaeta, dominance of Streblospio Genuse (Polychaeta group), and decreases abundance of Bivalvia and appearance of Menemiopsis leidyi which need to study more and monitoring of this area.

    Iranian Fisheries Science Research Institute | Tehran, Iran
    Details
    Publication Date: 2021-05-19
    Description: This study was conducted to determine 16 Polyaromatic Hydrocarbons (16PAHs) concentrations in water (during four seasons) and surface sediments (during summer and winter) at eight transects (Astara, Anzali, Sefidroud, Tonekabon, Nowshahr, Babolsar, Amirabad and Turkman) in the southern of Caspian Sea in 20102011. 94 samples of water and 45 samples of surface sediments were collected at 10, 50 and 100 meters depths. In addition, 28 samples of fish (Cyprinus Carpio) were collected during winter and spring. All samples were prepared by Soxhlet and extracting processes and then determined using High Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) instrument. Results of current study showed that mean concentration and standard error (±SE) of 16PAHs water were observed 232 (±77), 1268 (±808), 538 (±190) and 151 (±53) µg/l in spring, summer, fall and winter, respectively. In addition, annual mean contents and standard error (±SE) of 16PAHs water were registered 24.10 (±8.12) µg/l. The Hazard Quotation (HQs) were calculated more than unit and belong to Benzo(a)pyrene and Dibenzo(a,h)anthracene compounds. Mean concentration and standard error (±SE) of 16PAHs sediment were observed 0.77 (±0.23) and 1.21 (±0.64) µg/g.dw in summer and winter, respectively. Also, the annual mean contents and standard error (±SE) of surface sediments were observed 0.93 (±0.33) µg/g.dw. The Hazard Quotation (HQs) were calculated more than unit and belong to Fluoranthene, Benzo(a)anthracene, Chryseneand Benzo(a)pyrene. The annual mean contents and standard error (±SE) of edible tissue of Cyprinus Carpio mussels were observed 2.21 (±0.42) µg/g.dw. Annually, pattern of 16PAH compounds were obtained 10, 70, 12 and 8% for 3,4,5, and 6 rings, respectively. Four ring compounds had high content and percentage and 2 ring was not observed in all samples of water. Also, pattern of 16PAH in surface sediments were obtained 31, 56 and 14% for 3, 4, and 5 rings, respectively. Four ring compounds had high content and percentage and 2 and 6 rings were not observed in all samples of surface sediments during two seasons. Result of Diagnostic Ratios analysis (DRs) of sediments showed that the source of oil compounds were petrogenic and pyrogenic in summer and winter, respectively. Based on DRs in water and sediments were observed oil compounds were either petrogenic or pyrogenic with different percentage in the southern Caspian Sea. In conclusion, the results revealed that in the some transects the 16PAHs concentrations of water were above the threshold levels and more petrogenic (85%) sources which represented polluted condition in this area. 16PAHs concentrations of sediments were below the threshold levels and conditions for this region were showed unpolluted. Also, the Caspian Sea sediments were classified in Class 2 (Fair). According to results of the evaluation’s risks to human health associated with consumption of the mussels containing 16PAHs suggest that there is risk for humans.

    Hydrology and hydrobiological study of the Persian Gulf in the Bushehr region (2018)
    Iranian Fisheries Science Research Institute | Tehran, Iran
    Details
    Publication Date: 2021-05-19
    Description: In order to investigate some ecological condition of the waters of Bushehr province in the Persian gulf between 50~'-01 E to 52~'-47 E and 26~'-39 N to 29~'-03 N , 18 major and 16 minor stations have been studied from Nayband bay to Kharg Island, using R.V. Ferdows 1. There have been a preliminary survey in winter 2001, 4 seasonal surveys in 2001-2 and a complementary one in summer 2002. During this period the seasonal environmental conditions, physico-chemical parameters, zoo and phytoplankton concentrations in water layers, macrobenthoses and sediments were studied. Sea bed swelling in the Motaf region has resulted in division of the area in two parts and in a such away that the climatic and chemico-physical conditions in the southeast area are different from the northwest area. In the southeast area the termocline, halocline, picnocline and oxycline are generated in spring, increased in summer, moved down to the deeper layers in fall and disappeared in the winter. In the Northwest area the clines are only formed in spring and summer but disappear in fall and winter due to almost perfect water column mixing resulted from climatological conditions. During survey period the water temperature ranged from 18 34.1~'C, salinity 37.9 41.3 ppt, conductivity 51.3 70.4 ms/cm, sigma〈sub〉T〈/sub〉 23.1 30.2 g/cm〈super〉3〈/super〉, dissolved oxygen 0.2 8 ppm, and chlorophyll a 0.1 3.6 mg/m〈super〉3〈/super〉. It is observed that salinity, conductivity and sigma〈sub〉T〈/sub〉 have increased from surface to depeer layer, while oxygen and chlorophyll a had a pick in mean layers but temperature have decreased from surface to the depth. Temperature and conductivity decreased from southeast to the northwest and from costal to offshore. Salinity and sigma〈sub〉T〈/sub〉 increased from southeast to the northwest. Dissolved oxygen and chlorophyll-a did not show any trend. The concentration of nutrients including ortho silicate (Si-SiO〈sub〉4〈/sub〉〈super〉- 4〈/super〉), ortho phosphosphate (P PO〈sub〉4〈/sub〉〈super〉-4〈/super〉), nitrate (N NO〈sub〉3〈/sub〉〈super〉-〈/super〉 ) and nitrite (N NO〈sub〉2〈/sub〉〈super〉-〈/super〉 ) varied between 0.4 13.3, 0.05 1.6, 0.1 12.3 and 0.1 1.4 ~kmol/l, respectively. The overall nutrient concentrations increased from surface to depth. 61 genuses of 5 phytoplankton groups and 8 branches, 12 classes of zooplankton were identified. The identified phytoplanktons included 42 Diatom, 16 Dinophyceae, 3 Cyanophyceae, one Chrysophyceae and one Euglenaphyceae geneses. The highest intensity of phytoplanktons was recorded in summer, while in the case of zooplankton, was recorded in spring. Diatoms had the highest variety in all seasons and the maximum abundance in fall and winter. Cyanophyceaes were predominant group in the spring and summer. On the contrary to zooplanktons, the intensity of phytoplanktons decreased from coastal to the offshore waters. The highest intensity of all planktons (zoo and phyto) was in 10-20 m layer. The intensity of phyto plankton increased from southeast towards northwest. The zooplankton concentration didn t follow any particular trend. The identified macrobenthoses were 69 families including 34 polychaets, 22 gastropods, 10 of bivalvs, 1 crustacean, 1 scaphopoda, 1 foraminifera, 5 classes and 6 orders of crustacea, 1 order of echinodermata, 1 fish larva and 6 branches of other benthoses. Intensity and biomass of all groups were determined. The polychaets and malacostraca had the most abundance in contrast to the other groups. Macrobenthosis intensity decreased from coast to the offshore in southeast of Motaf region, while the middle stations of northwest of Motaf had a better intensity. The mean abundance and biomass of total area decreased from coast to the offshore, and the slope of decrease in biomass was more than abundance. Seasonal minimum and maximum abundance ranged from 1457 to 1903 per square meter in spring and winter, and the biomass ranged between 7.8-10.8 g/m〈super〉2〈/super〉 in summer and spring, respectively. In spite of high abundance of macrobenthose in the transect no: 13, the estimated biomass was lower than other transects. This might be due to prolonged exposition to more pollutant. The grain size of sediments was classified as gravel, sand, silt and clay. The organic mater of sediments ranged from 1.12 3.3% with annual average of 1.6%. The grain size of sediments in southeastern point was coarser than other areas. The middle stations of northwestern area had fine grain and more organic mater in contrast to the offshore and coastal stations.

    The monitoring of hydrology and hydrobiology stydies of the Persian Gulf in the Bushehr region (2018)
    Iranian Fisheries Science Research Institute | Tehran, Iran
    Details
    Publication Date: 2021-05-19
    Description: This study has been carried out in waters of Bushehr province in the Persian Gulf covering Nayband bay to Bahregansar between 26° 45 N to 30° 00 N and 49° 45 E to 52° 45 E, 15 main and 5 sub- stations, by R/V Ferdows 1 in winter 2004, summer 2004 and winter 2005. The physico - chemical parameters, nutrients (silicate, phosphate, nitrate and nitrite), phyto, zooplanktons, sediments and macrobenthoses were collected from water layers and sea bottom, and then analysed. The parameters were compared and evaluated with the results of the previous work, conducted in the same area. Termocline, halocline, oxycline and picnocline layers were formed in summer. These clins disappeared due to water column mixing in winter. The values of temperature, conductivity and pH in summer were higher than those of in winter, while the salinity and density values of surface and subsurface layers in winter were higher than those of in summer. The temperature and conductivity have been decreased from surface to depth, from coastal rigions to offshore and from southern waters to northwern waters, while salinity, density and turbidity have been increased. The dissolved oxygen is decreased by increasing the values of temperature, salinity and depth and it is observed that D.O. has increased in correlation with chlorophyl a in mean and subsurface layers. The pH was rather decreased from surface to depth while turbidity was increased. Orthosilicate (Si_SiO44), nitrate (N_NO3 ), and nitrite (N_NO2 ) concentration have increased from surface to depth while orthophostate (P_PO43) decreased. Among the phytoplanktons, Dinophycea had most abundance in winter 2004 and Diatoms had most abundance, variety and distribution in summer 2004 and winter 2005. Among the zooplanktons, Copeopda had most abundance, variety and distribution. The intensity of phytoplanktons in summer was more than those in winter; it decreased from surface to depth and from coastal rigions to offshore, at first increased and then gradually decreases. Intensity of zooplanktons in summer was more than those in winter and decreased from surface layers to depth and from coastal waters to offshore. The abundance of benthoses in summer was more than that in winter while their biomass in winter was more than that in summer. The abundance decreased from southern to northwern waters, but the rate of decrease in biomass was more than that of abundance. The mainly texture of sediments was loamy or muddy and the grain size in southeastern and northwestern areas were coarser than those in middle area. Compared with the previous study, the trend of physico chemical, silicate, nitrate and nitrite were the same but in spite of the past, the values of pH in summer were more than those in winter and also phosphate concentration had been decreased frome surface layer to depth. The overall trends of phyto and zooplanktons densities are almost similar to previous observation, but cyanophyceae significantly decreased, in comparison with spring and summer abundance. It is also observed that the zooplanktons average density has been in reverse order compared to previous observations. Average concentration of phosphate in the entire region was seven times more than that of the former study and its maximum value has rised more than 26 times in the petroleum and gas industries areas. On the other hand, the abundance and diversity of phyto and zooplanktons and also the ratio of biomass to abundance of benthoses were decreased.

    Publication Date: 2021-05-19
    Description: This study was conducted to determine some heavy metals concentrations (in water and sediments) and oil pollution (in sediments) in the southern Caspian Sea (Mazandaran Coast-Kelarabad). Surface sediments samples were collected at three stations from autumn 2011 to winter 2012. In addition, water samples were collected from autumn 2014 to summer 2015. All samples were perpaired by digesting and extracting processes and then determined using Atomic Absortion Spectroscopy and High Performance Liquid Chromatography instruments. Results of current study showed that annual mean contents of Zn, Cu, Cr, Ni, Pb, Cd, Hg and standard error (±SE) of water were registered as 8.38 (±5.69), 10.90 (±4.95), 7.17 (±1.20), 4.50 (±0.90), 22.29 (±7.10), 4.83 (±2.30) and 0.131 (±0.07) µg/l, respectively. The mean values of the examined heavy metals in water samples were obtained in order of Pb〉Cu〉Zn〉Cr〉Cd〉Ni〉Hg. The annual mean contents and standard errors (±SE) of surface sediments were observed 59 (±3), 25 (±1), 42 (±2), 28 (±1), 14 (±1), 0.16 (±0.06) and 0.020 (±0.005) µg/g.dw for Zn, Cu, Cr, Ni, Pb, Cd and Hg, respectively. Also, the mean values of the examined heavy metals in surface sediment samples were noted in this rank Zn〉Cr〉Ni〉Cu〉Pb〉Cd〉Hg. The mean values of Igeo were ranked as IgeoPb〉 IgeoZn〉 IgeoCu〉 IgeoCr〉 IgeoNi〉 IgeoCd and for enrichment factor were EFPb〉EFZn〉EFCu〉EFCr〉EFNi〉EFCd〉EFHg. The mean values of the contamination factor were recorded as CFCd〉 CFPb〉 CFZn〉 CFCu〉 CFCr〉 CFNi〉 CFHg. The annual mean contents of PAHs and standard errors (±SE) of surface sediments were registered as 2.81 (±0.73) µg/g.dw; among 16 compounds of PAHs, Fluranthene was contained maximum values (2.79±0.96 µg/g.dw). In addition, the concentration of naphthalene was below limit of detection. The Hazard Quotations (HQs) of all PAHs were calculated higher than unit in surface sediments. In conclusion, the results revealed that the mean concentrations of all heavy metals (except Cu) of water were below the threshold levels but maximum concentrations of Cu, Pb and Cd were above of the regulatory limits associated with toxicological effects, which repersented polluted condition in this area. Concentation of Cd in sampled sediments based on geoaccumulation index (Igeo) showed modrated polluted conditions for this regions, but other heavy metals were in unpolluted status. Cu, Cr, Ni and Cd contents of sediments in the samples based on enrichment factor (EF) showed no enrichment conditions for this region, but other heavy metals (Zn and Pb) were in minor enrichment status. The Caspian Sea sediments were classified as low polluted based on CF, Cd and PLI. The results revealed that the 16PAHs concentrations of sediments were below the threshold levels (except TEL) and mostly of pyrogenic (85%) sources, which represented unpolluted condition in this area. According to results of the evaluation of risks to the health of 16PAHs suggest that there is risk for the existing biota. Also, the Caspian Sea sediments were classified in Class 3 (Poor). According to anthropogenic sources of some heavy metals and PAHs of sediment, it is essential that the management and development of the cage aquaculture industry in the Caspian Sea to be made with environmental considerations and cautions.

    Description: Heavy metals are among the pollutants found in urban and industrial wastewater. Various industries, such as the metal, oil and petrochemical activities are among the main sources of heavy metals discharging into the marine environment. Hormozgan province, especially Bandar Abbas City, showed significant growth in chemical industry and high urbanization rates in recent years, which could have a significant potential for heavy metals entering the coastal ecosystem. The present study aims to monitor the concentration of heavy metals (including Fe, Cu, Pb, Cd, Ni, Co) in sediments collected from East and West of Hormozgan province and assessing the status of pollutants by comparison with regional and international standards. In this research, shrimp habitats were selected on the basis of Tib, Yekshabeh, Laft and Khamir. In order to investigate heavy metals in shrimp habitats of Hormozgan province, the study was conducted seasonally from autumn 1394 to summer of 1395. Copper, Nickel, and Cobalt metals were measured by flame atomic absorption and other metals using a furnace atomic absorption device. The results of Iron measurement in sediments of sampling stations showed that maximum concentration was 1.576 mg/kg in winter at Tiab estuary, while in summer this amount was related to Khamir estuary and reached to 1.578 mg/kg. In both summer and winter, copper had the highest amount of copper in the Tiab estuary with amount of 0.377 mg / g and 0.358 mg / g, respectively. The maximum observed concentration of Nickel in Tiab estuary is 0.114 mg / kg in summer. This amount was 0.069 mg / kg for cadmium in winter in Tiab estuary sediments. Lead and Cobalt metal exhibited their maximum concentration at the same time and place with0. 403 mg / kg and 0.247 mg / kg, respectively. In general, based on the findings of this study, the average concentration of heavy metals in the surface sediments from Hormozgan estuaries was recorded as Fe〉 Pb〉 Cu〉 Co〉 Ni〉 Ca. The assessment of the environmental quality of the sediments for all heavy metals showed that the measured values were lower than the guidelines and none of the metals was evaluated at poluuting level. In order to protect mangrove ecosystem and control the amount of heavy metal pollution, periodic monitoring of these metals in sediments of the study area is recommended.

    A study on water quallity and environmental pollutants(water,sediment and fish) of Aras river in East Azarbijan province (2018)
    Iranian Fisheries Science Research Institute | Tehran, Iran
    Details
    Publication Date: 2021-05-19
    Description: This study was conducted to determine water quality and sediment of Aras River based on environmental parameters, metals (Mo, Cu, As, Hg) and determine of heavy metals in fish species at four stations (From Julfa to 25km after Nourdos border) during four seasons from 2015 to 2016. All samples were carried out standard methods using titration and spectrophotometer instruments. Result showed that range of water and weather temperature, DO, BOD5, COD, EC, Turbidity, TA, CO2, pH, DIP, NH4/N, NO2/N, NO3/N and IRWQI were observed 200-24.00, 3.00-28.00 C, 8.90-15.01, 1.77-13.41, 2.00-86.00 mg/l, 1.00-1.34 ms/cm, 2.4-638.0 NTU, 116-247 mg/ CaCO3 l, 0.20-2.20 mg/l, 8.06-8.79, 0.026-0.195, 0.330-0.575, 0.005-0.026, 3.640-6.474 mg/l, and 31.10-48.02, respectively. Mean of whole parameters (TA, NO2 - and NO3 - ) were significant between seasons and (p〈0.05) but whole parameters were not significant between stations (p〉0.05). Result showed that range of Mo, Cu, As, Hg in water and sediment were observed 0.10-23.01, 3.0-40.0, 0.02-0.81, 23.7-104.6 µg/l, 0.1-111.6, 17.5-482.5, 0.001-0.145, 46.8-303.6 µg/g.dw, respectively.As a conclusion, water quality of Aras River was classified in class III (moderate pollution) based on mean concentration of Cu and As concentration was observed less than threshold level. Water quality of Aras River was classified in class IV and II based on mean value of Hg and As, respectively. Maximum value of Mo and Cu at surface sediment was registered at stations 3 and 4 during all seasons which it is because of effluent of sewage from Mo, gold and other metals mines in Armenia country. Mean concentration of As at surface sediment was higher than standard value, but concentration of Hg was lower than threshold value. Bioaccumulation factor was also calculated for each species.The amount of Bioaccumulation factor for molybdenum is the highest and the arsenic metal has the lowest amount. The highest concentration of copper in Barbus lacerta with a mean of 13.6 ± 11.3 μg / g dry weight and for the molybdenum, Alburnoides bipunctatus had the highest mean concentration (11.7 ± 4.9) μg / g dry weight. The average concentration of mercury (13.1 ± 1.5 μg / kg dry weight) was highest in Alburnus alburnus. Regarding the arsenic element, as it was analyzed in a small number of specimens, the highest concentrations were recorded in Alburnoides bipunctatus . According to ANOVA, there is a significant difference between mean concentration of copper in different species (p 〈0.05) and the Duncan test has distinguished Alburnus alburnus from other species. As a conclusion, result showed that 61 percent of the total data indicates the quality of water was relatively bad, although about 31 percent of the total data (based on the quality of IRWQI) indicates the quality of water was "moderate level.This condition starting serious changes in water characteristics affected by environmental degradation, exposure to domestic and agricultural pollution.
