    Description: Golestan coast at south of Caspian Sea is the most important aquasystems, because of its relation to lagoon, bay and fresh water rivers and of its role in life cycle of bony fishes. The study of heavy metals, as a kind of chemical and environmental pollution is an essential program; because, they accumulated in the aquatic environment and human food chain that cause ecological damages. In this study, we determine the concentration of four heavy metals (Cd, Cr, Zn, Pb) in some most consumed fishes, such as Liza auratus, Cyprinus carpio and Rutilus frisii kutum in winter, spring and summer seasons locating at 11 sites (west and east coast, Gomishan Lagoon and Gorgan Bay). The fishes which were caught from the mentioned areas after biometry, immediately freezed and transferred to laboratory for further analyses. Then, water and sediment samples were acid digested and assessed for determination of Cadmium, Lead, Zinc and Chromium levels using atomic absorption spectrometer (AAS). The results showed that the highest concentration of Lead (214.83 ppb) was related to Gomishan Lagoon and the lowest Chromium level (28.83 ppb) was observed in the water specimens sampled from east coast in winter. Otherwise, the highest concentration of Zinc (300.7 ppb) was found in sediment specimens sampled from Gomishan in summer and the lowest concentration of Cadmium (12.7 ppb) in Gorgan Bay in summer. According to the results, the concentrations of heavy metals in liver tissues excised from fishes were higher than that in muscle tissues. Also, there was significant differences were observed between Chromium concentrations in muscle tissue of Cyprinus carpio with sex but there was not for other fish. In this investigation, we found a positive liner relationship between accumulation lead with age for Rutilus frisii kutum. On the other hand, no significant relationship was found between accumulations of heavy metals with age for other fish. Comparison of the resulted mean concentrations of heavy metals with international standards (WHO, UK (MAFF), NHMRC), showed lower concentrations in liver and muscle tissues of sampled fishes.

    Description: In recent years MPAs (Marine Protected Areas) have been known as a flexible tool to improve fishery management as well as to preserve biodiversity in valuable coastal waters habitats. This study was conducted to selecting the sensitive and high potential area that are impacted by several environmental stress and associated habitats are being damaged in Mahshahr creeks in Northwest of Persian Gulf. Study was done in eight creeks from October 2005 to September 2006. Different biotic parameters such as phytoplanktons, zooplankton, macro zooplankton, benthic animals and fishes (trawled species) communities and also physico-chemical parameters and sediments heavy metals were investigated. Different parameters were sampled monthly or seasonal from each creek. Water samples with bottle sampler and sediment were collected by Peterson grab. Several ecological and biological indices based on heavy metals and benthic communities were used. Concentrations of heavy metals were measured by using voltammetric plarography method (Methrom 797). The range and mean concentrations obtained in mg/kg were 35.16-15.03 (27.01) for Cu, 171.41-65.57 (102.672) for Ni, 20.06-4.63 (13.22) for Co, 0.78-0.093 (0.22) for Hg, 379-65.07 (113.7) for Zn, 1.00-0.27 (0.559) for Cd and 29.72-7.09 (14.66) for Pb. To evaluate the levels of sediment contaminations, the background values of the different heavy metals were calculated and contamination factor for each metals and degree of contamination for each creek determined as well. Measured concentrations were compared with International standards. Ultimately the heavy metals contamination factors (Cf) can be arranged as follows: Hg〉 Zn〉 Cu≥ Ni〉 Pb≥ Co 〉 Cd and according to contamination degree (Cd), different creeks can be arranged as follows too: Ghannam〉 Ahmady≥ Zangy〉 Doragh≥ Darvish〉 ghazaleh〉 Patil〉 Bihad Regarding the results some elements such as Hg, Zn and Ni, are at risk level and all of the studied creeks are classified in moderate degree of pollution except Ghannam showing considerable degree of pollution. The benthic invertebrates are a well-established target in evaluations of environmental quality status. The AMBI (AZTI,s Marine Biotic Index) was developed to determine the impacts and the quality status in softbottom marine benthic communities. All creeks are characterized by muddy bottom. Macrobenthic animals, according to their sensitivity to an increasing stress gradient, classified in five ecological groups. In present study due to appearance of dominant species such as Capitella sp and nematodes (as opportunist species), diversity values was reduced. Two way ANOVAs showed only seasonal significant differences in mean abundance (P〈0.05, f=5.712, df: 3,21) and Richness index values (p〈0.05, f= 4.975, df=3,21), while all of creeks showed similar biological characters based on benthic communities. According to annual, mean of AMBI (BC) all of creeks classified in ecological group III with slightly pollution, except Darvish that was placed in unpolluted category. In general, according to AMBI and BI values, The most creeks are classified in unpolluted (34%) and slightly pollution (34%) categories except Zangy, Doragh and Patil in summer and also Zangy and Bihad in winter that showed moderate to heavily pollution (32%). The results of chemical quality of sediments, Cf values, Cd values, AMBI Index and water quality and risk Indices have confirmed each other. In general, the Mahshahr creeks are classified in moderate to heavy pollution status. In addition, biological parameters of benthic communities and other biotic parameters have showndescending trend in ecological quality in all of the studied creeks. Communities. According to annual, mean of AMBI (BC) all of creeks classified in ecological group III with slightly pollution, except Darvish that was placed in unpolluted category. In general, according to AMBI and BI values, the most creeks are classified in unpolluted (34%) and slightly pollution (34%) categories except Zangy, Doragh and Patil in summer and also Zangy and Bihad in winter that showed moderate to heavily pollution (32%). The results of chemical quality of sediments, Cf values, Cd values, AMBI Index and water quality and risk Indices have confirmed each other. In general, the Mahshahr creeks are classified in moderate to heavy pollution status. In addition, biological parameters of benthic communities and other biotic parameters have showndescending trend in ecological quality in all of the studied creeks. We used of some criteria for evaluation of biotic potential or sensitivity and also to explain the ecological health level of studied creeks. Positive and negative criteria are classified in three level 1, 3 and 5 for low, moderate and high degree of conservation value respectively. According to gained points the creeks Darvish, Doragh and Ghazaleh in high level and creeks Ghannam , Zangy and ahmady in low level of conservation value were classified.

    Description: Chitin and chitosan are 2 very important products of biopolymer that enjoy high consumption in industry, but their production sources are very limited. In this study, Artemia urmiana cyst shells were obtained from previously collected and stored ones in Iranian Artemia Research Center. 20 kg of Artemia urmiana cyst shells were sampled, cleaned, separated, dried and transferred to Iranian Artemia Research Center Laboratory to extract their Chitin and chitosan. Their chitin and chitosan initially were extracted using optimized common chemical methods. Their properties were compared to 2 other types of Chitin and chitosan obtained from crab and shrimp manufactured by Vietnam and China, respectively. To determine their quality, elemental analysis device, infrared spectrophotometry, x –ray radiography, determination of viscosity , molecular weight, crystallinity percent, color, de stylization measure, empirical and molecular formulas were made. The results showed that the percentage of chitin obtained from Artemia cyst Shells in Chemical method was 28 ± 3 % by weight and efficiency into chitosan (grade steel relief) in this method was 50± 5%. To optimize the extraction procedure and the removal of proteins of chitin by biological practices that were done by sodium hydroxide in the chemical method, it was replaced by the bacterium Bacillus subtilis. And in the bio- phase of chitosan de steelation fungus Aspergillus niger enzyme was replaced instead of sodium hydroxide at high temperatures. The results showed that chitin and chitosan can be extracted from Artemia cyst shell using biological method and their characteristics included as in chitin 49.6% C, 8.2 % N, 7.5 % H, and 34.5 %O. Also the same levels for chitosan were 44.4 %, 8.9, 7.2 and 39.5 %, respectively. Their other quality characteristics were included chitin average molecular weight 4.9×10^6 Dalton, crystallinity percentage of 36.4, viscosity at 20°C 31 centipoise and its color was gray to brown. In the biologic method, the average molecular weight of chitosan, crystallinity percentage, viscosity at 20°C, were 5.1×105 Dalton, 94.5, and 18 centipoises, respectively. Also, its color was pale brown. Chemical structure of extracted chitin and chitosan from the shell of Artemia urmiana cysts were C_7H_12NO_4 and C_6H_11 NO_4c, respectively. The comparison of chitin and chitosan obtained from each chemical and biological method revealed that replacing biological methods instead of chemical methods is possible in achieving these products at suitable condition and better quality. This can eliminate the use of chemicals damaging the environment such as sodium hydroxide and decrease environmental pollution.

    Description: The project is funded by the CASPECO Project which is the Third Phase of the GEF supported project in the Caspian Sea region titled “The Caspian Sea: Restoring Depleted Fisheries and Consolidation of a Permanent Regional Environmental Governance Framework”, and implemented by the Iranian Fisheries Research Organization (IFRO) in partnership with four Coastal Research Centers affiliated to IFRO, Coldwater Fishes Research Centre (CFRC).The project's objective is to improve the conservation and restoration of Caspian Salmon (Salmo trutta caspius) stocks. In accordance with IUCN criteria Caspian Salmon is placed in the red list of endangered fish. In the recent decades the destruction of habitats for juveniles, reduction of genetic diversity and fish immune system were main causes of the Caspian salmon decline. Numbers of public meetings were held with participation of fishing communities’ representatives, experts, relevant local authorities and experts of the IFRO and Iranian Fisheries Organization (IFO), Iran Environment Protection Organization (IEPO), Water Resource Management (Ministry of Energy) and University senior professors, in order to create interaction and understanding of the project objectives. Educational awareness and extension program were conducted with the involvement of fisheries communities, private sector and NGO associations. The results of the project suggests that cross-sectoral coordination for sustainable fisheries can be achieved through building partnerships and enhancing communication between the environment, private, fisheries sectors and academia. Cross-sectoral cooperation through this project improved public awareness on growing risks facing Caspian Salmon from different sources including local sources (illegal fishing and over-fishing, urban wastewater, environment destruction, industrial pollutants, pollution of air and water resources), new emerging and invasive organisms, climate change, implications of the Caspian salmon population decline on economic and social affairs of the people who depend on them for their livelihood and food security and their role in fish stock protection. The project, through its capacity building, extension and educational programs and efforts to link science to management, could translate scientific findings into an action agenda for managers and policy makers that can bring an improvement in the future of the Caspian Sea salmon stock.

    Description: The ecological situation of Maharloo Lake is of a great importance in the province, especially in relation with continuous addition of a reasonable volume of municipal and industrial effluents to it; one major point being a source for different life cycle stages of the crustacean Artemia, which is used in aquaculture as natural food. In order to improve our knowledge about lake's pollution, we investigate mineral nutrients and heavy metal concentration, among some other physical and chemical characteristics. Three stations were selected in the lake, sampling trips were made, and the concentration of selected factors were measured monthly from January 2000 to December 2001. Using ANOVA, results were used to compare means of monthly factors between three stations, and means of three stations between 12 months. The yearly means for pH, dissolved oxygen, salinity, electrical conductivity, water temperature, nitrite, nitrate, free ammonia, carbonate, bicarbonate, dissolved CO_2, phosphate, alkalinity, chloride, calcium, magnesium, total hardness, total dissolved solids, and total particulate matter were 7.95 (SD=0.558), 2.92ppm (SD=2.11), 290.73ppt (SD=168.08), 375.52ms/cm (SD=232.72), 20.8 C (SD=7.4), 0.051ppm (SD=0.058), 0.111ppm (SD=0.089), 3.342ppm (SD=2.894), 67.75ppm (SD=66.84), 270.88ppm (SD=190.91), 63.57ppm (SD=37.94), 0.018ppm (SD=0.026), 328.97ppm (SD=216.14), 128.05ppt (SD=76.65), 3334.90ppm (SD=4769.87), 22719.22ppm (SD=45204.82), 18059.73ppm (SD=12513.54), 203.20ppt (SD=132.40), and 8.65ppm (SD=5.49), respectively. Heavy metals' highest concentrations were as: As=23ppb, Co=303ppb, Cd=970ppb, Pb=8510ppb and Hg=25ppb, while no value was recorded in several months. Our results showed no significant differences between stations' means for most of the factors, but different months were significantly different in many factors (P〈0.05). Maharloo Lake demonstrated various levels of pollution regarding to nutrient minerals and heavy metals, but special attention to the relations of water- precipitations is needed for a more concise understanding of its pollution. Results of this investigation can serve as a good record of the lake situation in drought conditions.

    Description: Cheshmehkileh River and adjacent mountainous streams, play a strategic role as a historical axis for anthropogenic civilization, human welfare also habitat and migration pathway of commercial – biologic valuable fishes e.g. Caspian trout, Caspian kuttum, members of Cyprinidae family in south Caspian Sea drainage. Treats such as overfishing of Caspian trout and Red spotted trout stocks in mountainous headwaters, barriers construction and manipulations those are out of river carrying capacity developed by human activities, affected normal function of river as well. Sand mining big factories establishment next to the river, legal and illegal trade of river sediments, direct entry of Tonekabon landfill leakage into the river, development of Rainbow trout farms since 3 decades and huge effluents into the river containing dead fish and types of solids, escapement of cultured Rainbow trouts into the river, … are major minimum factors which needs basic information for integrating inclusively drainage management system. Cheshmehkileh River contains Headwaters of Dohezar (Daryasar & Nusha), Sehezar and Valamroud rivers during 13 monthly sampling phases between September 2009 and October 2010 based on macrozoobenthoses investigations by EPT, EPT/C EPA protocols, measurements of nominated physic-chemical and microbiologic parameters. Probability of Rainbow trouts escapement and invasion, existence, nutrition in Cheshmehkileh environment indeed investigated. Data analysis explained significant differences (P〈0.05) between groups of measured parameters in different sampling stations. Dendogram of clustered analysis based on consolidation of major biologic/ physic-chemical and microbiologic parameters, separated stations No. 1, 3, 2, 4 in one group and remained classified in different groups. Station 8 and 9 similarly separated which expressed general similarities according to Sehezar river environment which were differs in comparison with other stations. Station 11 separated according to its natural quality of water and environment. Similarities between station 10 to Sehezar river stations 8 and 9 expressed general influence of Sehezar River more than Dohezar River in Cheshmehkileh condition especially in station No. 10. High scores of EPT and EPT/C indices in upstream stations 1, 3 and 8 also low score of indices in stations 7, 13 and 6 expressed levels of environment quality between these groups of stations. Maximum average biomass of macroinvertebrates belongs to Trichoptera order in Cheshmehkileh River. Significant decrease of biomass in stations 11, 12 and 13 in comparison with other stations stated environment degradation in mentioned stations relevant to excessive sand mining as well. Pollution resistant groups of invertebrates significantly increased in downstreams against upstream stations. Also disappearing of Plecoptera order in station No. 7, 9, 10 and 13 stated low quality of environment in comparison with upstream stations. Confirmation of effects quality and quantity for point and non-point sources of imported pollutants require specific management considerations in order to present exploitations, pollutants control and emergencies for river monitoring in forthcoming years.

    Description: This survey was conducted to determine the petroleum pollutants in sediment & some commercial aquatics of species in eastern waters of Hormozgan province during 2006-2008. We have selected 3 stations at 5, 10 and 20 meters depth in each of Sirik, Kuh-e-mobarak and Jask area. The selected biota were Penaeus indicus & Psettodes eruemi.Selected components of PAHs in sediment & biota samples were: Naphthalene (Na), Acenaphthylene (AcPY), Acenaphthene (AcP), Fluorene (FL), Phenantheren (PHEN), Anthracene (AN), Fluornthene (FLUR), Pyrene (PY), Benzo(a)anthracene (BaA), Chrysene(CHRY), Benzo(b) fluoranthene (BaF), Benzo(k)fluoranthene (BkF), Benzo(a) pyrene (BaP), Dibenzo(a,h)anthrancene (dBAn), Benzo(ghi)perylene (BPe), Indeno (1,2.3-cd)pyrene (IcdP) . Our results were: Based to our results Bioaccumulation of PAHs didn't relate to sex and length of selected biota. Percent of naphthalene as a PAH with two rings has a significant difference against other PAHs in all areas. High ratio of HPAH to LPAH, show the combustion source of PAHs. Values for total PAHs at shrimp in Sirik, Kuh-e- mobarak & Jask area were 349.9 ±236.7, 809.1± 605.4 & 1015±1300.1 ng/g. Values for total PAHs at Psettodes eruemi, in Sirik, Kuh-e- mobarak & Jask area were 494 ±460.8, 1465.3±1678.2 and 292.3±400.7 ng/g respectively. In shrimp samples, the values for total PAHs had significant difference between Jask & Kuh e-mobarak, whereas for Psettodes eruemi, the significant difference was observed in Jask & Kuh-e-mobark. In sediment, concentration of total PAHs and their components didn't show any significant difference with area and depth of sampling at 95% confidence level. Average concentration of total PAHs and their components with 2, 3, 4, 5and 6 rings were 279.7±117.4, 4.5± 9.3, 6.2±7.1, 5.4±1.4, 263.6±113.9 respectively. Based to NOAA standards, pollution level of sediment is lower than ERL values.
