<span>This study was carried out from August to November 2002 in the Iranian coastal waters of the </span>Caspian Sea<span> (Guilan province). The results showed that gut contents of Mnemiopsis leidyi included a wide variety of prey including 84% of zooplanktons and 16% of phytoplanktons. The most abundance of intaked foods was Acartia (belongs to Copepoda) with 34% frequency and the least was podon (belongs to Cladocera) with 0.74% frequency. Also 3.0% of fish eggs and 4.2% of molluscs were found among stomach contents. Maximum and minimum fed phytoplanktons were Chrysophyta (67.0%) and Pyrrophyta (3.7%), respectively. The young specimen consumed more zooplanktons and phytoplanktons comparing to adult ones. According to laboratory observations, this ctenophore cannot digest phytoplanktons.</span>

<span>The effect of different bycatch reduction devices in decreasing bycatch of commercial fish species with the length of less than LM50 (the length from which, 50% of them are matured) in shrimp trawlers were examined. The experiments were conducted in </span>Persian Gulf<span> (Bushehr and Hormuzgan provinces) during the shrimp season, years 2000-2001.</span><br /><span>In this study four types of bycatch reduction devices (Grid, Nafted, Fish eye and Square mesh window) were used. Double rig trawl was used, one of them as an experimental trawl and the other as the control.</span><br /><span>Different treatments like one device or two devices were installed on experimental shrimp net. After hauling the trawl, frquency of different commercial species with length less than LM50 was determined in both nets, and the results were tested with Paired Willcoxon test. The results have shown that although all the devices have a reductional effect on bycatch of the young and juveniles of commercial species, but the amount of reduction with setting Nafted and Grid, either single or combined with another BRD was significantly higher than the control one (P ≤ 0/05). The amount of by catch reduction devices with different treatment (different devices either single or paired) according to the season of the experiment were also tested with Kruskal- Wallis test, which shows significant differences (P≤0.05) between the frquency of young and juvenile individuals of some species during different experimental seasons.</span><br /><span>According to this study, by using Nafted and Grid devices in the trawl nets of all shrimp vessels during its season, about 400 to 500 thousand of juveniles and young individuals can escape from the nets.</span>

<span>The Anchovy kilka, (Clupeonella engrauliformis) is the most commercially important of the caspian kilka. The poor quality of many processed products is due to poor quality of raw material in which the quality of fat is a contributing factor of great importance. In this study, samples from fishing vessels were transported and stored under two metods of Chilled Sea Water (CSW) and Boxed with ice powder.</span><br /><span>In Chilled Sea Water method, containers were filled with ratio of 60, 25 and 15 percent of fish and ice and sea water, respectively. Then their qualitative characteristics such as moisture content, total lipid, phospholipid and neutral lipids, peroixids value, free fatty acids, heme iron and tiobarbituric acid content, organic phase fluorescense. Statistical analysis of results showed that CSW was a better method for maintaining the quality.</span>

<span>In this study, immunoglobulins from serum of Persian sturgeon (Acipenser persicus) were purified and partially characterized. Immunoglobulins were purified from the pooled sera by a combination of salt precipitation, Ion-exchange chromatography and gel filtration methods. DEAE sepharosefast flow and sepharose CL-6B columns were used for Ion exchange-chromatography, and gel filtration, respectively. The purity, molecular weight and molecular distribution of the immunoglobulin preparations was determined by gel electrophoresis (SDS-P AGE) in reducing and non-reducing situations.</span><br /><span>In gel filtrated immunoglobulins two distinct peaks, high molecular weight (HMW Ig) and low molecular weight (LMW Ig) were obtained. Both HMW Ig and LMW Ig had identical heavy and light chains of 72-75 KDa and 27-29 KDa, respectively, in reducing SDS-P AGE. HMW Ig contained a group of bands, including two major bands in non-reducing SDS-PAGE, In contrast LMW Ig contain more than half of the total immunoglobulin, was 190 KDa. In ion exchange chromatography, immunoglobulins were eluted in three peaks. The first was exclusively monomer and others were mixture of monomer and polymers. This is the first report on persian sturgeon immunoglobulins. Results of this investigation showed that persian sturgeon immunoglobulins was not homogenous in respect of molecular distribution, PI and the type of light chain. The presence of more than one genes for light and\or heavy chains or post transcriptional and\or post modifications may be responsible for these variations.</span>

<span>Management of commercial catch of the spiny lobster, Panulirus homarus Linnaeus, 1758; was studied in fishing season, from September to November 2001. P. homarus specimens were captured from different fishing sites of Ramin, Chabahar, Konarak, Puzm and west of Puzm. Carapace length and sex of specimens and presence of eggs and pleopods of females were considered. The latter factor was noticed to check of the eggs removed from pleopods. Fishing season takes about one and the half months. The maximum and minimum carapace length were observed in west of Puzm (80.04 + 9.02 mm) and puzm (76.46 6.66 mm), respectively. Minimum size limit specimens at different fishing sites were not significantly different, but frequency of them were more than years of 1999 and 2000, although fewer ovigerous females were caught.<br />A better management of the lobster resources needs the collaboration on fishing, fisheries and research within the Iranian authorities, and also fisheries cooperation of the two neighboring countries.</span>

<span>About 125 young Huso huso specimens in the +1 year class with a mean weight of 761.5±2.7 g were selected for this study. The speciemens were studied in four experimental groups and three replicates were run for each group. In the first group one barbel on the right was clipped, in the second group two barbels on the right were clipped, in the third group 3 barbels on the right and one barbel on the left were clipped and the forth group were considered as the control group without any ablading of barbels. Fishes under this study were fed with diets composed of kilka and formulated diets. </span><br /><span>Growth conditions in the fishes were studied through the six weeks experimental period. On the basis of results obtained no significant differences were observed among the different treatment.</span>
