The relatively low variation coefficient for quality traits–leaf/stem ratio (1.22 %) and crude protein content (2.16 %) was established, and the highest coefficient for stem number per unit area and dry matter yield. Dry matter yield was strictly and positively correlated with stems number per m and moderately negatively with leaf/stem ratio. A weak negative relationship between dry matter yield and protein content was found.

A simple 660 litres capacity Water Recirculation System (WRS) technology was developed, built and evaluated for this study. The WRS was designed and constructed in relation to waste production and waste removal kinetics. The system rearing troughs were made of black and white rectangular plastic containers. Efficiency of the design method and the effect of color of rearing unit were tested on growth performance and survival of Cyprinus carpio hatchlings, to assess the technical functionality of the system. The experiment was divided into two phases; artificial propagation of each Fish species using synthetic hormone and rearing the Fry for 14 days; and rearing the 14 days old fry for 42 days. In the first phase of the experiment, hatchability was estimated, while in the second phase, growth performance and nutrient utilization were investigated. Daily water replacement was maintained at 10 % of total volume of water in the WRS throughout the experimental period. Results of breeding/rearing trial gave high survival rate and fast growth rate of hatchlings. Hatchability results indicated that Black troughs had higher hatchability rate of 69.80±0.55 than white troughs 67.45±0.99. There was no significant difference (p>0.05) between the Treatments in Mean Weight Gain (MWG), Specific Growth Rate (SGR), Food Conversion Ratio (FCR), Food Conversion Efficiency (FCE) and Protein Efficiency Ratio (PER). High % Shooters was recorded in Black troughs than in white troughs for the specie studied. % Survival rate was high (71.33 %) in Black troughs than in white troughs (53.33 %). Based on the results of the water quality parameter analysis, the system was technically able to deliver optimum water quality for Fish growth and survival of Cyprinus carpio incubated and reared within system facility. This study revealed that the designed system can be used to incubate and culture hatchlings of Cyprinus carpio.

In the present study, cyanobacterial flora of two hot springs located in Kerman, Iran was investigated for the first time. After sample collection, species were identified based on their morphological traits. To understand the fundamental patterns of species distribution, Physico-chemical environmental factors and species frequency were measured using standard methods and thereafter Canonical Correspondence Analysis (CCA) of species frequency and environmental factors was carried out by Canoco program. Twenty one cyanobacteria were identified. Results showed an ordered distribution of the species along the environmental factors. Results also showed the presence of mesothermophilous and facultative thermophile cyanobacteria in types of unicellular and filamentous in the two studied springs. Results also suggest that some species are adapted and resistant forms to sulfide. Diazotrophic strains were found to align in lowest compound nitrogen level, where others were removed from competition.","PeriodicalId":8682,"journal":{"name":"Banat's Journal of Biotechnology","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-05-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"85553998","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The phenotypic coefficients of variation (PCV) were slightly higher than their corresponding genetic coefficients variation (GCV) due to the influence of environment on character expression. High heritability estimates for all characters except pod weight per plant and seed yield per plant. High heritability for these traits indicated that selection could be more effective for genetic improvement.
