The aim of this study was to bio monitor the status of heavy metals on the southern shores of the Caspian Sea by determining the concentration of these metals in the tissue of Rutilus kutum. Sampling of kidney tissue, liver, muscle, skin, and gonad of this fish was performed in 5 sites. Sampling was performed in Anzali, Kiashahr, Astara, Farahabad,...

High levels of trace elements in aquatic environments can affect the quality of seafood. We analyzed the concentrations of As, Cd, Co, Hg, Mn, Ni and Pb, in the edible muscles of Hemiculter leucisculus and A. brama orientalis caught in four different areas of southwest of the Caspian Sea. We estimated the potential risks for human health deriving b...

Museum material is an important source of metadata for past and recent biological events. With current sequencing technologies, it is possible to obtain historical DNA (hDNA) from older material and/or endangered species to answer taxonomic, systematic, and biogeographical questions. However, hDNA from museum collections is often highly degraded, m...

Since the 1990s, anthropogenic activities have been the major direct or indirect threats to the structural and functional organization of the unique ecosystem of the Caspian Sea (CS). This study attempts to investigate the relationships between fish community structure and environmental parameters and to analyze the Abundance Biomass Comparison (AB...

The Caspian Sea (CS), biggest inland water worldwide has experienced around 3 m oscillation in sea level during the 20th century. These rapid sea level fluctuations have had a great impact on the coastal habitat around this sea. Therefore, this study is aimed to investigate the long-term changes of the western part of the Caspian Sea shoreline and ...

Elements are the shared result of the erosion of rocks in the catchment area and human activities. Nutritional habits, ecological needs, heavy metal concentrations in water and sediment, duration of fishing in the aquatic environment, fishing season, and physicochemical properties of water (salinity, pH, hardness, and temperature) are among the eff...

Industrial, agricultural, and recreational activities dump several pollutants into the Caspian Sea, which is one of the main water bodies of Iran. Therefore, performing risk assessments would be required as part of the monitoring programs. Herein, non-cancer health risk assessment of the consumption of macroalgae was performed and the ecological ri...

AbstractA method is proposed for visualizing the inconstancy of the phytopigment composition in the water layer of the formation of backscattered solar radiation recorded by the MODIS multispectral ocean color scanner. The method relies on the fact that each pixel of the MODIS raster image of the investigated water area is assigned a wavelength ref...
