Email: [email protected] General Mixed Yule- Coalescent (GMYC) and Poisson Tree Process (PTP) as well as haplotype network analyses. Using the BEAST program, we also examined temporal divergence patterns of Capoeta. The monophyly of the genus and the existence of three previously described main clades (Mesopotamian, Anatolian- Iranian, and Aralo- Caspian) were confirmed. However, the phylogeny proposed novel taxonomic findings within Capoeta. Results of GMYC, bPTP, and phylogenetic analyses were similar and suggested that species diversity in Iran is currently underestimated. At least four can- didate species, Capoeta sp4, Capoeta sp5, Capoeta sp6, and Capoeta sp7, are awaiting description. Capoeta capoeta comprises a species complex with distinct genetic line- ages. The divergence times of the three main Capoeta clades are estimated to have occurred around 15.6–12.4 Mya, consistent with a Mio- Pleistocene origin of the di- versity of Capoeta in Iran. The changes in Caspian Sea levels associated with climate fluctuations and geomorphological events such as the uplift of the Zagros and Alborz Mountains may account for the complex speciation patterns in Capoeta in Iran.

Corresponding author: *E-mail: [email protected] Abstract The genus Capoeta in Iran is highly diversified with 14 species and is one of the most important freshwater fauna components of the country. Central Iran is a region with high number of endemism in other freshwater fish species, though the present species was recognized as C. aculeata (Valenciennes, 1844), widely distributed within Kavir and Namak basins. However previous phylogenetic and phylogeographic studies found that populations of Nam River, a tributary of the Hableh River in central Iran are different from the other species. In this study, the mentioned population is described as a new species based on morphologic and genetic characters. Keywords: Inland freshwater of Iran, Nam River, Algae-scraping cyprinid, Capoeta.

Glucose 6-phosphate dehydrogenase (EC 1.1.1.49; G6PD) is an important enzyme found in all mammal tissues, and produces NADPH in the metabolism. NADPH provides a reductive potential to maintain a balanced redox state within the cell. The aim of this study was to purify G6PD from Capoeta umbla kidney and determination of inhibition or activation effects of aluminium and mercury on enzyme activity. In this purpose, glucose 6-phosphate dehydrogenase was purified from Capoeta umbla kidney by using preparation of homogenate, ammonium sulphate precipitation and 2’,5’-ADP Sepharose 4B affinity chromatography. Molecular weight of the enzyme was determined on sodium dodecyl sulphate- polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE) and the purified enzyme showed a single band on the 3+ 2+ gel with a molecular weight of 75 kDa. Moreover, Ki constants of Al and Hg were found as 0.98 ± 0.084 and 0.57 ± 0.019 mM, respectively.

This fish has a lot of thorns and bones, and in terms of processing it has not been used properly, so it is necessary to process it in a different way where one of them can be done using presto techniques. The purpose of this study is to determine the heating time to make the lalawak fish presto the most preferred by panelists. This study uses an experimental method with Friedman Test, multiple comparisons and Bayes Test for processing data with 3 treatments of warm-up time, namely 60 minutes, 90 minutes, and 120 minutes with 20 panelists as replications. The results of the hedonic test showed that the appearance and aroma were not significantly different between treatments, while the texture and taste were significantly different between treatments where the average value of treatment was 60 minutes, 90 minutes, and 120 minutes, respectively from the texture of 6.0; 6.3; 7.5, and taste which is 6.7; 7.1; 8.0. The treatment with a heating time of 120 minutes is the most preferred treatment by the panelists and this treatment is carried out by a proximate test to see the chemical content in it.

Ng, 1990; P.K.L. Ng & Lim, 1996). In the first major synopsis of the Singapore ichthyofauna, Alfred (1966) listed a total of 73 native and introduced species from Singapore of which 42 were still extant. Alfred (1968) subsequently listed 35 native species as extant and believed 19 were extinct. It was 22 years before the next appraisal was made by Lim & P.K.L. Ng (1990) in their guide to the freshwater fishes of Singapore.

  • ORIGINAL ARTICLES an Etymological Review on Fish Common
    412 Research Journal of Fisheries and Hydrobiology, 6(4): 412-423, 2011 ISSN 1816-9112 ORIGINAL ARTICLES An etymological review on fish common and scientific names in the Euphrates and Tigris 1Peyman Mikaili, 2Jalal Shayegh 1Department of Pharmacology, Faculty of Medicine, Urmia University of Medical Sciences, Urmia, Iran. 2Department of Veterinary Medicine, Faculty of Agriculture and Veterinary, Shabestar branch, Islamic Azad University, Shabestar, Iran. ABSTRACT As the Mesopotamia has a long history of fishery, the etymological analysis of currently used fish names may have interesting motifs for other scientific fields. Because of some recent political factors, fewer studies have been conducted on the aquatic fauna in Iraq. Additionally, native and local studies will be not recognized and understood without having a clear knowledge about the local fish names. As some of these words have been deformed and almost of them are far variants from the standard or original forms, we have use etymology for elucidating the Arabic names. Of all species presented in the available sources, 46 species were selected for this study. All names, including scientific (Greek and Latin) and common Arabic names in Iraqi dialects were etymologically analyzed. For etymology of Arabic words, we had not, in fact, any real pattern for the methodology of Arabic words. Thus, we may consider this article, one of the first works deals with this field of international scientific terminology. We have proposed a so-called methodology for Arabic etymology, and then we have presented the suggestions for word etymologies. Key words: Etymology, scientific names, common names, Iraq, Persian Gulf, ichthyology Introduction The Mesopotamia may be considered as one of the first fishery regions in the ancient history of human being.
