The seroepidemiological condition of malaria in three main districts of Hormozgan Province, a low transmission area in southeast of Iran, was investigated. Methods. Sera samples (803) were collected from healthy volunteers from the three main districts (Bandar Lengeh in the west, Bandar Abbas in the center, and Bandar Jask in the east) of Hormozgan Province. A questionnaire was used to record the sociodemographic features of the participants during sample collecting. An in-house ELISA test, using crude antigens obtained from cell culture of Plasmodium falciparum, was adapted and used to detect anti-malaria antibodies in the sera.

  • Iranian Coral Reefs Status with Particular Reference to Kish Island, Persian Gulf
    International Coral Reef Initiative Indian Ocean Regional Workshop, Muzambique, Nov. 26-28, 2001 IRANIAN CORAL REEFS STATUS WITH PARTICULAR REFERENCE TO KISH ISLAND, PERSIAN GULF 1 2 SEYED MOHAMMAD REZA FATEMI , MOHAMMAD REZA SHOKRI 1Dept. of Fisheries and Marine Biology, Science and Research Unit, Islamic Azad University, Hesarak, PO BOX: 14155-5655, Tehran, IRAN. Email: <[email protected]> 2Iranian National Center for Oceanography, #51, Bozorgmehr Ave., I4168, PO BOX: 14155- 4781, Tehran, IRAN. Email: <[email protected]> Abstract In this paper, the coral status of Iranian waters in the Persian Gulf are reviewed and discussed based on the obtained results and information after three years of field surveys in Nay Band Bay, Kish and Farur islands. Altogether, 27 species of corals were identified from the studied areas, belonging to 9 families and 20 genera. Faviidae with 6 genera and 8 species is the most diverse of all families. On the other hand, Poritidae with 2 genera and 4 species is the most abundant corals in all areas. In the last 10 years, Acropora has declined from being the most abundant genus in shallow waters of fringing islands, to almost absennt, due to environmental stresses and human impacts. Anacropora forbesi is reported for the first time from the area. Regarding the coral health, the live coral coverage ranges from 9 to 30%, with minimum coverage in Kish Island and maximum in Nay Band Bay. During this study, no new bleached coral was observed at the surveyed areas, though in the past few years, considerable bleaching events have occurred throughout the area.

  • Marine and Coastal Indigenous and Community Conserved Areas (Iccas) in the South of Iran and a Review of Related Laws
    Marine and Coastal Indigenous and Community Conserved Areas (ICCAs) in the South of Iran and a Review of Related Laws Razieh Ghayoumi The United Nations-Nippon Foundation Fellowship Programme 2013 - 2014 DIVISION FOR OCEAN AFFAIRS AND THE LAW OF THE SEA OFFICE OF LEGAL AFFAIRS, THE UNITED NATIONS NEW YORK DISCLAIMER The views expressed herein are those of the author and do not necessarily reflect the views of the Government of Islamic Republic of Iran, the United Nations, the Nippon Foundation of Japan, or Saint Mary's University. © 2014 Razieh Ghayoumi. All rights reserved. 2 Abstract The new concept and yet the old one about conservation with the contribution of indigenous people and local communities has attracted many scientists’ attention. International conservation policies and programms recognize and support indigenous and community conserved areas and encourage all states to do the same. This thesis aimed to introduce marine and coastal Indigenous and Community Conserved Areas and the related laws, regulations and development plans thoroughly in Iran. The main focus of this thesis is on traditional conservation by local communities in Qeshm Island, located in Hormozgan province in south of Iran along the Persian Gulf. Through this study, it was concluded that indigenous people and local communities have an important role in governing protected areas and it is recommended to include them in conservation programms. 3 SUPERVISORS: Dr. Anthony Charles Dr. Francois Bailet Ms. Valentina Germani 4 Acronyms CBD Convention on Biological

  • Otolith Weight and Fish Length of Sardinella Sindensis
    Dehghani et al. Marine Biodiversity Records (2016) 9:44 DOI 10.1186/s41200-016-0039-0 MARINE RECORD Open Access Otolith dimensions (length, width), otolith weight and fish length of Sardinella sindensis (Day, 1878), as index for environmental studies, Persian Gulf, Iran Mohsen Dehghani1,3*, Ehsan Kamrani1, Ali Salarpouri2 and Sana Sharifian1,3 Abstract Background: Sardines are the most important commercial fishes for Iran. However, information about biology and ecology of sind sardine in Persian Gulf and Oman Sea is scarce. Methods: In this study, relationship between fish length and otolith length, -width and -weight of Sardinella sindensis from Bandar Lengeh and Qeshm Island, Persian Gulf were analyzed. In total, 128 and 120 fishes collected from Commercial catches during March 2011- February 2012 in the Bandar Lengeh and Qeshm Island respectively. Results: There were no significant differences between left and right otolith (t-test, P > 0.05) or between males and females otoliths (ANCOVA, P > 0.05). For these reasons, only right otoliths were used for next analysis and data of both sexes were pooled. Relationships between fish length and otolith length, width and weight were described by linear regression models and high correlation was shown for all relationships. The highest correlation was between fish length and otolith length (Bandar Lengeh, R2 = 0.8722; Qeshm Island, R2 = 0.8661) and relationship between fish length and otolith width showed less correlation than other relationships (Bandar Lengeh, R2 = 0.7355; Qeshm Island, R2 = 0.7275). Conclusions: The result from this study shows that fish length and otolith growth have a positive relationship, so can be a useful tool to evaluate the growth of fish and fish stocks and finally fisheries management.
