In the present investigation, flocculation of metals during mixing of Minab River water with the Strait of Hormuz (The Persian Gulf) water is studied for the first time. Flocculation behavior of metals (except for Pb) is governed by dissolved organic carbon. The source of dissolved organic carbon is terrigenous in the estuarine waters of study area. The general pattern of flocculation of studied metals is manganese (180 µg/L) > zinc (88 µg/L)> nickle (73 µg/L)> copper (30 µg/L)> lead (19 µg/L). The results of present study show that metal species are a very important factor in overall flocculation rate. It is found that solids and oxides have the highest and lowest flocculation levels, respectively. Eh-pH diagram indicated that lead is present as lead oxide in Minab River water and the least flocculation rate is attributed to this element. The results also showed that flocculation rate of metal species could be as solids > free ions ≈ hydroxides > oxides. The amount of metal flocculation is about 30.5, 6.6, 25.3, 10.4 and 62.5 ton/y for zinc, Pb, Ni, Cu and Mn, respectively.

These two matters) find their way into lakes and seas through counteractive, non biological mechanisms are rivers (Meybeck, 1988). Estuaries are the major desorption of metals from resuspension of riverine biogeochemical interfaces between land and sea where particles and flocculation of metals-humate from terrigenous elements born by river on their way to the solution (Li et al., 1984). Controlling mechanisms of sea under go various changes (Sharp et al., 1982; flocculation process have been investigated Breuer et al., 1999). Mixing of river and seawater results intensively. In wetlands, flocculation is enhanced by in flocculation of trace metals especially in the upper increased pH, turbulence, concentration of suspended part of the estuary where lower salinity regimes are matters, ionic strength and high algal concentration found (Gerringa et al., 2001; Karbassi et al., 2008a; (Matagi et al., 1998; Zvinowanda et al., 2009). Biati et al., 2010). Due to the flocculation process a Flocculation mechanisms are mainly due to colloidal large portion of the dissolved metals supplied by the stability, surface properties, humic acids, salinity and river come into particulate phase (Eckert and Sholkvitz, pH (Hunter, 1983; Zhiging, et al., 1987; Featherstone 1976; Boyle, 1977; Sholkovitz et al., 1977; Karbassi et and O’Grady, 1997; Karbassi et al., 2007). Removal of al., 2008b; c). Thus, estuarine processes can influence significant amounts of reiverine dissolved organic elemental composition of the sea water (Sillen, 1961; carbon (DOC) may occur due to flocculation or Mackenzie and Garrels, 1966; Mackenzie, 1975; Troup precipitation reactions that result in the conversion of and Bricker, 1975; Nouri et al., 2008a). The two important DOC to particulate organic carbon and their mechanisms affecting the concentration and subsequent settlement on to the sediments (Sholkovitz, distribution of trace metals during estuarine mixing have 1976; Nouri et al., 2008b). Production of autochthonous been successfully modeled by water-column mixing DOC in estuaries may also occur through several experiments (Sholkovitz, 1976; Comans and Van Dijk, processes (Sharp, 1991; Aliabadi et al., 2006).

Minab River is formed by two main branches long residence time, may result in development of anoxic named Rudan in western part and Jaghin in eastern conditions that may be either restricted to the sediments part. It lies between longitude of 57º 07´ and Latitude (Westerlun d et al., 1986; Kerner and Wallmann 1992) or of 27 º 09´. Various municipal and industrial waste water can occur in the water column (Zwolsman and Van Eck, containing heavy metals and organics along with 1993; Zwolsman et al., 1997; Shiller and Mao, 1999). agricultural fertilizers, pesticides and herbicides enter Sulfides of elements (e.g. zinc (Zn) and cadmium (Cd)) into the Minab River. Fresh and saline water samples may precipitate in anoxic conditions (Malakootian et were collected in pre-cleaned 25 L polyethylene bucket al., 2009). In more saline parts of the estuary, some from the Minab River upstream and Strait of Hormuz elements (e.g. Zn and Cd) are released in to the water as (16 Km away from river mouth), respectively (Fig. 1). th. a result of oxidation (Sholkovitz, 1976; Duinker and Water sampling was carried out on 5 October 2008.

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.

  • Iran's Sunnis Resist Extremism, but for How Long?
    Atlantic Council SOUTH ASIA CENTER ISSUE BRIEF Iran’s Sunnis Resist Extremism, but for How Long? APRIL 2018 SCHEHEREZADE FARAMARZI ome fifteen million of Iran’s eighty million people are Sunni Muslims, the country’s largest religious minority. Politically and economically disadvantaged, these Sunnis receive relatively lit- tle attention compared with other minorities and are concen- Strated in border areas from Baluchistan in the southeast, to Kurdistan in the northwest, to the Persian Gulf in the south. The flare up of tensions between regional rivals Saudi Arabia and Iran over Lebanon, Syria, Iraq, and Yemen would seem to encourage interest in the state of Iranian Sunnis, if only because the Saudis present them- selves as defenders of the world’s Sunnis, and Iran the self-appointed champion of the Shia cause. So how do Iran’s Sunnis fare in a state where Shia theology governs al- most every aspect of life? How have they been affected by this regional rivalry? Are they stuck between jihadist and other extreme regional Sunni movements on the one hand, and the Shia regime’s aggres- sive policies on the other? Is there a danger that these policies could push some disgruntled Iranian Sunnis toward militancy and terrorism? A tour of Turkmen Sahra in the northeast of Iran near the Caspian Sea, and in Hormozgan on the Persian Gulf in 2015 and 2016 revealed some of the answers. More recent interviews were conducted by phone and in person in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) and with European-based experts. “Being a Sunni in Iran means pain, fear, anxiety, restrictions,”1 said a young The Atlantic Council’s South woman in a southern Hormozgan village.

    Natural Environment Change, Vol. 1, No. 1, Summer & Autumn 2015, pp. 21-29 Assessing landscape change of Minab delta morphs before and after dam construction Manuchehr Farajzadeh; Professor, Department of Remote Sensing & GIS, Tarbiat Modares University, Tehran, Iran. Mohammad Kamangar; M.Sc. Remote Sensing & GIS, department of natural resources, Hormozgan University, Bandar-e-Abbas, Iran. Fahimeh Bahrami; M.Sc. Watershed Management, Department of Natural Resources, Hormozgan University, Bandar-e-Abbas, Iran. Received: April 18, 2015 - Accepted: October 5, 2015 Abstract As special depositional environments which are adjacent to the seas, deltas have provided a field for human habitat establishment. Geomorphic features of deltas are in constant transformation due to their dynamic features. Constructing dams on rivers can intensify these changes and cause either negative or positive consequences. Minab delta in Hormozgan Province of Iran is a round or crescent- shaped delta which has Esteghlal Dam constructed on its creating river. Minab Dam is constructed upstream of Minab Delta in Hormozgan Province. The research aimed to derive landscape metrics of delta and assess their changes before and after the construction of dams. Landsat Satellite images of 1983 and 2013 provided the four classes as abandoned delta, active delta, subaqueous deltaic plain and aquatic environment, using maximum likelihood method, with a Kappa Coefficient accuracy of 86.55 and 88.42 for revealing changes quantitatively. To quantify landscape metrics, percentage of landscape (PLAND), Number of Patch (NP) and Mean Patch Size (MPS) metrics were computed. As indicated by the results, the NP metric increased in all the classes except active delta, and all classes showed a reduction in MPS metric.
