Review and Updated Checklist of Freshwater Fishes of Iran: Taxonomy, Distribution and Conservation Status
Iran. J. Ichthyol.

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. -

Study on the Biomass and Productivity of Lumbricidae Populations in the Deciduous Ecosystem
Muzeul Olteniei Craiova. Oltenia. Studii úi comunicări. ùtiinĠele Naturii. Tom. 28, No. 2/2012 ISSN 1454-6914 STUDY ON THE BIOMASS AND PRODUCTIVITY OF LUMBRICIDAE POPULATIONS IN THE DECIDUOUS ECOSYSTEM BRÎNZEA GheorghiĠa Abstract. The present study analyses the earthworms in the deciduous ecosystem (Ruginoasa Station) of Cândeúti Platform, in the south-east of Arge܈ County, in terms of biomass and monthly productivity during March-October 2007. Besides numerical dominance, the biomass of Lumbricidae species highlights the role of each species in the activity of matter and energy transfer within an ecosystem. The special dynamics of the two parameters showed different values, given the structure of the vegetation, soil and soil layers, and especially the differences between the individual weights of the species. Octolasion lacteum species was dominant in terms of biomass density and recorded high values at the soil levels analysed, except in the litter. Of the total calculated biomass (27.598 mg d.s./square meter), this species dominates in a ratio of 74.69%. Biological productivity was increased at 0-10 cm, with the highest value for Octolasion lacteum species (4.03 mg d.s./m2), followed by Eisenia lucens species (0.9 mg d.s./m2) and Aporrectodea rosea rosea species (0.641 mg d.s./m2 ). Also, the highest values of the biomass were recorded in spring and autumn months. The species with a lower numerical density recorded low values of the biomass, leading to low biological productivity and vice versa. Keywords: deciduous forest, lumbricidae, biomass, productivity.

Strips of tender meat in slices, Dipped in oil of finest make, Tempt anew the flagging palate And the appetite awake; Lemons, too with Nadd besprinkled Scented well with ambergris, And, for garnishing the slices, Shreds of appetising cheese.

R. Received: July 2012 Accepted: November 2012 Abstract A reproductive biology study of blue swimming crab, Portunus segnis (Forskal, 1775) in the northern Persian Gulf and Oman Sea, was conducted from May 2010 to October 2011. The results showed that the annual sex ratio is not M: F=1:1, with 51.9 % female. All the five stages of ovarian development of P. segnis were observed throughout the year. The size of ovigerous crabs varied from 103 to 155 mm. carapace width. This crab can spawn all year round with a spawning peak in mid-winter to early of spring season. The fecundity of ovigerous crabs ranged from 521027 to 6656599 eggs, with average fecundity of 2397967 eggs. The minimum carapace width (CW) of female crabs that reach sexual maturity was 92- 138 mm and the length at which 50% of all ovigerous females was 113 mm carapace width.
