Since the work of J.J. Heckel (1846-1849), the number of valid species has increased significantly and the systematic status of many of the species has changed, and reorganization and updating of the published information has become essential. Here we take the opportunity to provide a new and updated checklist of freshwater fishes of Iran based on literature and taxon occurrence data obtained from natural history and new fish collections. This article lists 288 species in 107 genera, 28 families, 22 orders and 3 classes reported from different Iranian basins. However, presence of 23 reported species in Iranian waters needs confirmation by specimens.

  • Assessing Chlorophyll-A in the Southwestern Coastal Waters of the Caspian Sea
    Journal of the Persian Gulf (Marine Science)/Vol. 5/No. 16/June 2014/14/1-14 Assessing Chlorophyll-a in the Southwestern Coastal Waters of the Caspian Sea Jamshidi, Siamak Iranian National Institute for Oceanography and Atmospheric Science, Tehran, IR Iran Received: October 2013 Accepted: April 2014 © 2014 Journal of the Persian Gulf. All rights reserved. Abstract Caspian Sea with an average depth of 27m is the largest enclosed water body in the world. Despite its enormity and valuable biotic and economic resources, investigations on the biota and seawater properties are mosaic at best. In previous studies, the monitoring of the chlorophyll-a concentrations in the Southern Caspian Sea was organized based on satellite data sets; however, vertical distribution of chlorophyll-a concentrations and its variations in deeper layers of the southern Caspian seawater are not well known. The aim of this research was to study the variations of seasonal distributions of chlorophyll-a near Anzali Port in northern Iran. Data collection was performed at 23 stations, 2 km apart, along four survey lines perpendicular to the coastline and two transects parallel to the coast every season using a research vessel. Field measurements in the study area were carried out. A portable CTD probe was applied for profiling from sea surface to bottom. Results of seasonal field measurements showed variations of the seawater properties (e.g. temperature, salinity, density and chlorophyll-a). Maximum depth of the profiling stations was more than 470 m and vertical structure of temperature in the southern Caspian Sea waters with a significant seasonal thermocline between 20-50 m depths in summer with a vertical difference of 16oC were characterized.

The base climate data contained daily precipitation, minimum temperatures, and maximum temperatures parameters of four weather stations. The LARS-WG was used to simulation based on the historical climate data from 2000 to 2017 and data generating for future climate forecasting was evaluate for 2018-2030. Then, the model was evaluated after assessing the model ability in each station for all four stations by comparing the monthly means and variances of observed and generated data in all stations. From the results, the study found that the precipitation level would increase in the study area. In the case of minimum and maximum temperatures, the minimum temperature would decrease 0.2-0.3 °C in Jolfa station and will increase 0.1-0.2 °C in Tabriz and 4.5-4.6 °C in Kaleybar stations. In addition, the maximum temperature would increase 0.1-0.2 °C at both in the study area.

    Islam in Process—Historical and Civilizational Perspectives Yearbook of the Sociology of Islam Volume 7 2006-12-06 16-23-03 --- Projekt: T491.gli.arnason.yearbook7 / Dokument: FAX ID 00fb133402603594|(S. 1 ) T00_01 Schmutztitel.p 133402603618 Yearbook of the Sociology of Islam Edited by Georg Stauth and Armando Salvatore The Yearbook of the Sociology of Islam investigates the making of Islam into an important component of modern society and cultural globalization. Sociology is, by common consent, the most ambitious advocate of modern society. In other words, it undertakes to develop an understanding of modern existence in terms of breakthroughs from ancient cosmological cultures to ordered and plural civic life based on the gradual subsiding of communal life. Thus, within this undertaking, the sociological project of modernity figures as the cultural machine that dislodges the rationale of social being from local, communal, hierarchic contexts into the logic of individualism and social differentiation. The conventional wisdom of sociology has been challenged by post-modern debate, abolishing this dichotomous evolutionism while embracing a more heterogeneous view of coexistence and exchange between local cultures and modern institutions. Islam, however, is often described as a different cultural machine for the holistic reproduction of pre-modern religion, and Muslims are seen as community-bound social actors embodying a powerful potential for the rejec- tion of and opposition to Western modernity. Sociologists insist on looking for social differentiation and cultural differ- ences. However, their concepts remain evolutionist and inherently tied to the cultural machine of modernity. The Yearbook of the Sociology of Islam takes these antinomies and contradic- tions as a challenge.
