Ehteshami","doi":"10.22092/IJFS.2020.122699","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.22092/IJFS.2020.122699","url":null,"abstract":"In the present study, a trophic structure model for some fish species of the northern Oman Sea is developed through using mass balance modeling software, Ecopath with Ecosim (EwE). In this model, we simulated 16 functional groups spread across an area of 3998.20 km2 from 2017 to 2018. Mean trophic level in the area of the present study was 3.49. Values calculated for system omnivory and connectance indices were 0.42 and 0.44, respectively. However, the values of ecotrophic efficiency in the model were high (>0.5) for most consumers of high trophic levels except for sharks and rays because of their high fishing mortality. Accordingly, mixed trophic impact showed that phytoplankton and detritus positively impacted almost all ecological groups. Also bentho-pelagics, the medium demersals, benthos, and crustaceans had a very negative impact on themselves due to cannibalism. Furthermore, the highest realized trophic level was 4.34 for sharks. The maximum omnivory index is calculated as 0.99 for medium demersals for feeding on a wide variety of preys. Also, the average catch per net primary production, i.e., the gross efficiency of the system was around 0.000198 (lower than the global average) indicating that the fishery is harvesting fishes high in the food chain. The primary production/respiration (PP/R) ratio is found to be 3.57 and the values of ascendancy (45.40%) and overhead (54.60%) showed stability of the ecosystem. Thus northern Oman Sea can be classified as an immature ecosystem (in the developmental stage), although it has some kind of system maturity. Accordingly, the food web of northern Oman Sea is consisted mostly of detritivorous, planktivorous, and carnivorous fish species. Besides, Ecopath with Ecosim (EwE) software can be an excellent option to examine interactions among ecological groups, and the impact of fishing in northern Oman Sea which is unquestionably helpful to develop concrete management strategies. The proper ecosystem-based fisheries management practice can improve the efficiency of this overexploited ecosystem.","PeriodicalId":14569,"journal":{"name":"Iranian Journal of Fisheries Sciences","volume":"19 1","pages":"2804-2823"},"PeriodicalIF":0.9,"publicationDate":"2020-11-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46970678","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Population dynamic parameters were calculated including infinite length (L∞=171 cm), growth coefficient (K=0.54 (yr-1)), growth performance index (Ф'=4.19), natural mortality (M= 0.71(yr-1)), fishing mortality (F=1.57 (yr-1)), total mortality (Z=2.28±0.19 (yr-1)), exploitation coefficient (E=0.68 (yr-1)) and initial condition parameter (-0.18 yr-1). Relative production per recruitment, relative biomass per recruitment and exploitation rate of this species were Y'/ Rp = 0.04, B'/ Rp=0.23(yr-1) and U=0.62 (yr-1), respectively. The Pobj value is 0, and F/Fmsy>1. The results indicated that regarding length frequencies of this species in the northern part of the Oman Sea, yellowfin tuna stock has good conditions, but overfishing of this species is happening, now. Therefore, specific measures should be taken to reduce catch and fishing effort.","PeriodicalId":14569,"journal":{"name":"Iranian Journal of Fisheries Sciences","volume":"19 1","pages":"2790-2803"},"PeriodicalIF":0.9,"publicationDate":"2020-11-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42400776","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

At second step, five different nitrogen concentrations (N-NO3) of 2, 4, 8, 12 12 mM, at the salinity of 35‰, were investigated. Algal cell density increased as nitrogen concentrations increased, but a low growth rate occurred in the culture with the highest nitrogen concentration (12 mM). The maximum cell density of 72× 12105\">  and the maximum amount of fucoxanthin (18.1 mg g-1) was obtained in I. galbana cultured in media containing four mM nitrogen (N-NO3). The purified fucoxanthin exhibited strong antioxidant properties, with the effective concentration for 50% scavenging (EC50) of 1, 1-dihpenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) radical, being 0.2 mg/ml. This study suggests that the production and fucoxanthin concentration of I. galbana can be improved using nitrogen-replete culture in 35‰ salinity.

The onset of anesthesia, duration period of anesthesia and recovery time were recorded separately for each group and compared. Results showed that the anesthesia onset of specimens in propofol treatment, was significantly shorter than that of clove oil treatment (p <0.05). Also, recovery time in propofol treatment was longer (p <0.05) than that of clove oil. Based on the results, it was recommended to use propofol instead of clove oil in performing anesthesia for this species due to rapid induction, longer duration and more prolonged effect in immersion method.","PeriodicalId":14569,"journal":{"name":"Iranian Journal of Fisheries Sciences","volume":"19 1","pages":"2893-2900"},"PeriodicalIF":0.9,"publicationDate":"2020-11-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46357791","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this study, the effects of nitrogen and silicate changes accomplished by salt stress were investigated to analysis the chl a and chl c1+c2 contents, specific growth rate, total lipid percentage and fatty acid composition of Navicula sp. Samples were collected using by plankton net (30-micron pores) in spring 2019, from 6 stations in the Persian Gulf, Iran. In this study, samples were cultured under salt stress (control, 20ppt and 45ppt) and nutrients fluctuation (control: N: 0.5 mg, Si:0.3 mg, high nutrient culture: N:0.9 mg, Si:4.5 mg and without nutrient culture). There was a considerable decrease in dry weight and maximum growth rate under 45ppt salt treatment without silicate. The amount of chl a was not significantly changed under various treatments. The highest level of chl c1+c2 was related to 20ppt with nitrate (3.05 mg L-1) and the lowest value was 0.38 mg L-1 for 20ppt with silicate treatment. The highest level of total lipid content was obtained at 45ppt without silicate. Lipid composition analysis under 45ppt without silicate showed a significant increase (2.07 times compared to control) of palmitoleic acid (C16:1n-7) and trace amounts of polyunsaturated fatty acids were detected. Based on these results, it could be suggested that salt stress without silicate has an important effect to accumulate valuable lipids in Navicula sp. so that, they could be useful in medical and bioenergy applications.","PeriodicalId":14569,"journal":{"name":"Iranian Journal of Fisheries Sciences","volume":"19 1","pages":"3310-3326"},"PeriodicalIF":0.9,"publicationDate":"2020-11-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41989739","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The mean final weight of marigold petal powder fed group was significantly different (p <0.05) from other groups after 90 days of the experiment. The absolute growth rate, relative growth rate, weight gain percent and specific growth rate were highest in the group of fish fed with marigold petal powder while feed conversion ratio was lowest in this group. Carotenoid content in the tissue of different groups of the fish was found to be significantly different (p <0.0001). Marigold petal powder was most effective to enhance the pigmentation and coloration in the different color zones (color of eye and opercular ocellus, jugular darkening, anal, ventral and dorsal fin color etc.) of the skin of T. fasciata. Pigmentation affected the behavioural activities of the fish where male aggression and selection of males by females was high in the group fed with marigold petal powder.

The amino acid profile of orangefin ponyfish was used to estimate nutritional value. A high amount of essential amino acids (35%) involved in protein hydrolysates and Glx, Asx, and Gly were the dominant amino acids. Solubility was above 90% in the pH range 3-9 and increased at all hydrolysis times by changing the pH from acidic to alkaline (p<0.05). The emulsifying activity (EAI) and stability (ESI) indices were reduced with increasing hydrolysis; at 2.5 mg protein/mL, 1 h hydrolysates displayed the highest EAI (87±2 m2/g) and ESI (22±0.4 min), when considered with those possessing higher hydrolysis time. On the other hand, the foam expansion and stability increased with increasing hydrolysate content. Antioxidant activity of hydrolyzed protein increased with increased hydrolysis (up to 3 mg/mL), especially DPPH and ABTS.
