Maintaining and restoring the relationship between different parts of the terrestrial landscape requires communication models and indicators that are reliable and efficient. One of these models is a communication model based on electrical circuit theory. To predict the pattern of movement in terrestrial landscape, identification of important habitat spots and corridors with the aim of planning for conservation has been used. Electricity is a network of nodes connected to each other by the resistors (electrical conductive parts of the current) and the amount of flow through the nodes is determined by the potential difference and the resistors. The circuit theory assumes that the terrestrial image is a conductive surface that converts each pixel into a node and connects it to adjacent electrical circuits. In this study, the desirability of the Iranian leopard habitat in two habitats of Khobyyalagh wildlife sanctuary and Golestan National Park was investigated by means of factor analysis of ecological niches and Biomper software. The data layers used as variables affecting the presence of species including elevation, slope, and vegetation index (NDVI), distance from roads, distance from villages, springs and rivers. Also, in the present study, the theory of electrical circuits was used to investigate the Iranian lagoon habitat links between the two habitats, and based on flow maps, movement patterns and functional communication for target species as well as important communication areas in the study area were identified.

Integrity and connectivity of habitats in protected areas is important for the plants survival and animals' populations. Investigating on the integrity of areas could help to interconnect islanded patches and preventing the negative impacts of fragmentations. This study aimed to quantify the fragmentations of the landscape to study the habitat of the important wildlife species in Jajroud protected area. To achieve this goal, after preparing area land use map using remote sensing and geographic information system techniques, the fragmentation elements were extracted to create fragmentation geometries. The acquired data were employed to study structure and the wild goat habitat integrity, wild sheep, the leopard and gazelle considering the landscape metrics. The results indicate that, the greatest increase in the fragmentation in landscape and between animal habitats has been happened due to the obstacles of the first geometry, which is included man-made lands and asphalt roads. Also, the greatest increase in fragmentation for wild sheep and gazelle occurred in first geometry, for wild goat in second geometry (garden) and for leopard in the fourth geometry (dam). Many conflicts pass through the sensitive species habitats of the wildlife, and the irreparable effects of conflicts will be more identified in the long term. The results of this research indicate that by analyzing landscape metrics in protected areas, it is possible to identify and prioritize the most important obstacles of maintaining the integrity of the habitat of different wildlife species; and also planning for the conservation of the habitat of the wildlife species will be prepared.

The aim of current study was to evaluate the effect of Mentha piperita extract as a natural antioxidant on quality of frozen-thawed ram sperm. In this study, four Moghani ram were used for semen collection twice a week. Then semen samples were pooled and diluted with extenders supplemented with different concentrations of Mentha piperita extracts (0, 2, 4, 8, 12 and 16 mL per dL diluent solutions). Following cooling and freezing, semen samples were stored in liquid nitrogen until evaluation. After thawing, the sperm dynamic parameters were evaluated using CASA system. The results showed that the addition of 4 and 8ml/dl extracts resulted in higher (p < 0.05) percentages of total motility compared to control. Addition of 4 ml/dl extract improved progressive motility compared to control group and higher levels of extract groups (P <0.05). The percentages of LIN, STR and VSL were higher (P<0.05) in the extender containing 8 mL/dL extract. Addition of 4 and 8 mL/dL extract to the extender significantly (P<0.05) improved VCL and VAP parameters. Addition of 4 and 8ml/dl extract improved the percentage of viability and sperm plasma membrane integrity compared to control (P <0.05). Sperm morphology was not affected by treatments. In conclusion, supplementation of extender with Mentha piperita L. extract improves post-thawed ram sperm quality in a dose dependent manner.

Profenophos is one of the organophosphorus poisons. This fast-acting poison control a very wide range of rodent and sucker organisms. Due to the widespread use of this poison in the farms around the Caspian Sea, we measured the amount of bioavailability of perthenophosum in 10 corpsees of the Caspian Sea, collected from the coasts of Golestan and Mazandaran provinces. Caspian seals is the only mosquito of the Caspian Sea, which has been endangered in recent years. corpsees were transferred to the laboratory and samples were taken from the adipose tissue to measure Profenophos toxin and, after preparation, samples were injected into a Gas chromatograph(GC-MS) and the concentration of toxin was measured by the apparatus. 100% of samples were contaminated with Profenophos. The mean of poison concentration in adipose tissue was 3.68±0.73μg / kg. The highest amount of this toxin was measured in adipose tissue 6 μg / kg and the lowest amount of this 0.5 μg / kg poison was measured. Considering the high concentration of Profenophos in the tissues of the Caspian seals and also the widespread use of this poison in agriculture to cope with the problem, in order to reduce pollution of the Caspian Sea, as well as to save the remaining Caspian seals, as well as the health of others Aquaculture in the Caspian Sea, it is necessary to take measures to prevent the entry of this dangerous pollutant into the Caspian Sea.

The conservation of genetic resources using knowledge of the genetic structure and the study of mitochondrial genome between and within species is an appropriate indicator of genetic diversityfor population genetic study and Non-coding genes of 16sRNA, 12sRNA, and tRNAs are regulatory elements involved in mitochondrial replication and transcription. For these reasons, in the current research, sequences of 2 rRNAs and 22 tRNAs were compared and analyzed with bioinformatics analysis of the mitochondrial genome in one humped camel and two-humped camel. The results showed that 6 nucleotides of 16sRNA sequence, 45 nucleotides of 12sRNA and 44 nucleotides of tRNAs were varied in comparing the sequences of non-coding RNA genes of one-humped and two-humped camels, which only two genes of rRNA and four genes from tRNAs were significant for Neutrality tests. Investigating the structural implications of these variable nucleotides using modeling confirmed that only the variable nucleotides in the D ring of the tRNA-Trp gene caused the spatial deformation of the cloverleaf form of tryptophan tRNA and Gibbs' free energy. Based on the results of this research, non-coding RNA genes of mitochondrial genome of camel species are conserved.

The fragmentation of the habitats and the islanding of the populations, followed by unbridled hunting, have caused the red deer to be a vulnerable situation. Therefore, in order to improve the conservation and management of this species, firstly, potential habitats of the species should be identified. The purpose of this research is to model the desirability of red deer habitat in Golestan National Park. used. For this purpose, Maximum entropy approach (MaxEnt) and 35 species presence points as dependent variables and 10 environmental variables were used as an independent environmental variable affecting red deer distribution. The results of this study, based on Jackknifes test, show that the most important factor affecting the distribution of red deer variables are distance from the road, height and vegetation, and the variable has a small effect on the distribution of the species. The most important regions are the presence of this species in the central and western parts of the park. The accuracy and ability of the prediction model for red deer based on the surface area under curve (AUC) is 0.95, which indicates a great prediction of the model. The desirable height for the red deer is in the range of 1200 to 1800 meters, the distance is 4000 meters from the villages and the slope is less than 30 percent. Also, the red deer species in the Golestan National Park is a species dependent on water resources.

Mitochondrial DNA has been one of the most widely used molecular markers for phylogenetic studies in animals because of its simple genomic structure. This study examines the genetic characteristic of domestic goat using sequence analysis of mitochondrial DNACytochrome oxidase subunit I (COI) to identify and differentiate among three common breeds (Adani, Najdi and Markhoz) of Iran. The genomic DNA was isolated by salting out method and amplified cytochrome oxidase I gene using PCR method with a pair of primer. Phylogenetic trees and pairwise calculations were obtained by using Mega 6 software. The COXI sequence from 60 individuals with haplotype diversity was 0.47 and a nucleotide diversity was 0.0500. The analyzes with the BioEdit Composition procedure indicated that the sequence for COXI was 28.87% nucleotide A, 25.25% nucleotide C, 15.86% nucleotide G and 29.66% nucleotide T, which had a C + G ratio of 42% and A + T is 58%. Phylogenetic analysis of haplotype in the combination with the goat from Gen Bank showed that Iranian goat clustered in a separate lineage. This study was found informative for establishing relationships between breeds from different parts of the world. This study may facilitate the future researchers and breeders for better understanding the genetic interactions and breed differentiation for devising future breeding and conservation strategies to preserve the rich animal genetic reservoir of the country.

Ectoparasites play a key role in transmission of various pathogens by blood-sucking from birds. The aim of this study was to identify and determine the distribution of ectoparasites of wild partridge (Alectoris chukar) in the Bahramegoor Protected Area (BPA). The method of this research was sampling and identification by morphological, molecular and Phylogenic methods. From the late spring to late fall, 2016, samples were collected. 29 partridge were live-captured by stratified random design method from plain, mountains, hill-valley and garden habitats of the BPA and ectoparasites were collected from partridge’s head by forceps and transferred to glass containing 70% alcohol, then transmitted to the laboratory for identification. The stereoscopic microscope and diagnostic keys of parasitic books as well as molecular methods were used for identifying parasites. All ectoparasites were ticks. A total of 40 ticks were collected, of which 38 ticks (95%) belonged to Ornithodoros genus and Ornithodoros canestrini species and two ticks (5%) belonged to the Hyalomma genus and the Hyalomma sp. species. The Ornithodoros canestrini species was most abundant in the garden habitat (45%) and in the autumn (57.5%) whereas Hyalomma sp. species was found only in the hill-valley habitat (5%) and in the spring (5%). So, the Ornithodoros canestrini species are known as the dominant species of the area. Due to the importance of these species in transmitting diseases to birds and other wildlife species, appropriate health and management tasks should be taken in place to control and combat these ectoparasites.

Longnose trevally is one of the most important species of the Carangidae and is considered as a commercially important fish species. In this research, 440 samples were collected by trawl net from different locations of fishing harbors from spring 2016 to winter 2017 in Hormozgan waters authority. After the initial analysis and biometry, the samples were frozen and transferred to the laboratory. At the beginning of the study, samples were dissected and the stomach weight, type of stomach contents, gastric contents and liver weight were analyzed.The results showed that the preference of food in males and females for fish, as main food, was 76.6% and 18.1%, respectively, for crustaceans were 11.1% and 17.4%, and for molluscs were 4.8% and 4.3% respectively. Among the fish samples obtained from the stomach, Engrauliudae, Ambassidae, Nemipetridae and Mullidae composed 56.6%, 19.62%, 5.6%, 4.67% respectively, and the total of the other fish was 13.51%. Among the crustaceans, shrimps and crabs made up 63.15 and 36.85% of the stomach contents, respectively. Statistical analysis did not show a significant difference between male and female nutritional preferences (P ≥ 0.05). The average Stomach emptiness index (CV) was 69.67%. The longnose trevally is a carnivorous species, and the results of the current research show that the main food of this species are fish and crustaceans in the studied region. This species is considered as relatively low appetite fishes, and the highest percentage of Stomach emptiness index was obtained in the summer and winter seasons.

According to the importance of roach as a valuable species in Caspian Sea and the entrance of toxin to the sea, the aim of this study was to investigate the effect of endosulfan toxicity on mucus immunity and hematological factors in Rutilus caspicus. So, after determining the LC50 for this species, 20 fish with the average weight of 18.46±2.32 g were exposed to 10% and 20% LC50 for 21 days. Samples from mucus and blood were performed on days 1, 7, 14 and 21. At the end of the experiment, the results showed that total protein and IG had the highest levels in 20% endosulfan in 21 day and there were significant differences between 20% and control (P<0.05). Although hemoglobin, hematocrit and red blood cells decreased when the dose of endosulfan and time exposed to it increased, the number of white blood cells increased. The most of Hb, Ht and RBC were in the control group, which had a significant difference with other treatments (P<0.05). In general, it can be concluded that exposure to endosulfan stimulates the non-specific immune system of the Rutilus caspicus.

Microplastics exists in marine habitats all over the world, and laboratory studies show that, this substance can be swallowed up by fish and transmitted through human consumption of fish. However, data on its abundance in lakes are limited. The purpose of this study is to determine the amount of micro-plastic accumulation on Caspian kutum as a seafood. This study was carried out on 51 whitefish collected during the fishing season (February to March) 2017 at six stations (Gomishan, Babolsar, Mahmoudabad, Tonekabon, Chamkhaleh, Bandar Anzali) on the southern shores of the Caspian Sea. The results showed that in the gastrointestinal tract, 66.6% of the fish were micro plastics. On average, each fish was swallowed by 1.47 pieces of micro plastics the most of these micro plastics were fibers (38.75%), then fragments (42.31%), films (30%) and beads (11.42%). These data show that there is a significant amount of micro plastics contamination in the Caspian Sea fish. The consumption of this fish may transfer micro plastic to humans. The results of this study were compared with reports from other parts of the world indicating that more study in the Caspian Sea should be conducted.

The aim of this study was to investigate the replacement of soybean meal instead of fish meal in the diet of sterlet and and its effect on growth, quality of meat and some blood factors during 56 days. For this purpose, 5 treatments were selected. Treatments 1, treatment 2, treatment 3, treatment 4 and treatment 5 had 0%, 10%, 20%, 30.7% and 45% soybean meal, respectively. There were 300 fishes (70.95±1.8 g) in fiberglass tanks. After the biometric and blood sampling, growth indices and blood factors were measured. Also, the quality of meat was evaluated. The results showed that fishes had a significant difference in terms of growth and obesity coefficient (P<0.05). Fishes fed with 10 percent of soybean meal diet had the highest blood indexes.There was a significant difference between treatments in terms of hemoglobin, hematocrit and protein in blood (P<0.05). Fishes fed with 10 and 45 percent of soybean meal diet had the highest hemoglobin, fishes fed with 45 percent of soybean meal diet had the highest hematocrit and fishes fed with 30.7 percent of soybean meal diet had the highest protein in blood. Also, the highest amount of protein in fish meat was seen in fishes fed with 20 percent of soybean meal diet and there was a significant difference compared with other treatments (P<0.05). It is better for the treatments 2 and 3 of soybean meal to be replaced with fish meal.

High-density aquaculture has led to congestion and excessive stress and contributed to bacterial infection outbreaks that have caused high mortality. This experiment was conducted to evaluate the effect of dietary supplementation of astaxanthin on the growth performances, survival and several of innate immunity parameters of rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) larvae for 60 days. In this experiment, 360 of larvae (with average weight of 0.13±0.01) in 4 treatments and 3 replicates (n=30 in each replicate) in a completely randomized design was divided and fed with diets containing 0, 50, 100 and 150 g astaxanthin /kg food respectively. The present results showed that diets containing astaxanthin showed a significant difference in growth, survival and innate immunity compared with control treatment (P<0.05). The highest FW, SGR, WG, PER, survival, total protein and globulin were observed in the diet containing 100 mg/kg astaxanthin which had a significant difference compared with other treatments (P<0.05). The highest lysozyme activity and albumin were observed in treatments containing 150 mg/kg astaxanthin which showed a significant difference compared with other treatments (P<0.05). Finally, the present results suggest that diets containing 100 and 150 g/kg dietary astaxanthin could improve growth, survival and innate immunity responses of rainbow trout.

The present study was designed to compare the effect of Lactobacillus plantarum nano/microencapsulation with alginat/chitosan and only probiotic (none encapsulation) on growth performance, nutritional indices and blood parameters on rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss). 480 fry rainbow trout with 15±1.2 g in weight were sorted and fed for eight weeks in four groups (with three replicates) including: Lactobacillus plantarum without any encapsulation (T1), encapsulated Lactobacillus plantarum with Alginate/ Chitosan (T2), alginate/ chitosan enriched free bacteria (T3) and basic diet (control group), respectinely. Results showed the best specific growth rate and Condition Factor were seen in treatment 2 and Also feed conversion ratio and protein efficiency ratio improved in treatments 2 and 3 in contrast with control group, although this increase was not significant. Study of Blood parameters showed higher hematocrit, hemoglobin and mean corpuscular volume were seen in treatment 2 which hematocrit was significantly different from control treatment (p˂0.05). The highest red blood cells, means corpuscular hemoglobin concentration and lowest means corpuscular hemoglobin were seen in treatment1. The number of white blood cells was significantly increased in treatment3 than control group (p˂0.05). Therefore, based on obtained results, it can be concluded that use of probiotic Lactobacillus plantarum could improve growth performance, nutritional indices and blood parameters, but this technology recommend for use probiotic on rainbow trout required further studies on the application.

Considering the high application of silver as well as the risk of exposure of aquatic organisms, the possibility of exposing these animals to this metal is high. Therefore, the aim of this study was to investigate and compare the sub-acute effects of silver nanoparticle and silver nitrate on survival, various indices of blood and also antioxidant biomarker in common carp. For this purpose, at first, Lethal Concentration (LC50-96 h) for two silver forms was obtained and then fish were exposed to 15 and 30% of the calculated concentration (0.4 and 0.8 mg / L nanoparticles as well as 0.025 and 0.045 mg / L silver nitrate) for 21 days. LC50-96 h for silver nanoparticles and silver nitrate were 0.29 ± 0.02 and 0.15 ± 0.05 mg/L respectively. The results showed that after exposure to silver nanoparticles and silver nitrate, different disorders were observed in hematologic indices including reducing the RBC and WBC count. The results showed that the SOD enzyme activity in most exposed groups were induced in compare to the control group. This study showed that silver nitrate at lower concentrations show its destructive effects and both forms of silver almost identically changed immunity factors and also oxidative stress in exposed fish, but in the SOD enzyme, these changes were slightly higher in groups exposed to silver nitrate.

Aim of this study was to investigate the protective effect of pre-treatment of bacteria pediococcus acidilactici and oligosaccharideRaffinose on carcass composition of Goldfish (carassius auratus) in exposure to nano silver. Accordingly, 250 fish with an average weighing of 26.3±0.18 fed for 6 weeks in four treatments and each treatment with three replications including diet without food supplement (control 1), probiotic diet of bacteria with a concentration of 107 colonies per gram (treatment 2), food containing probiotic Raffinose (1 g/kg) and synbiotic (treatment 4). After the end of the feeding period, 50% of the nano-silver concentration (0.5 mg/L) was exposed to the treatments for 14 days and at the end of the 14-day exposure, carcass sampling was performed. At the end of the experiment, analysis of data showed that there was no significant difference in the moisture content, ash, protein and carcass fat among the treatments (P>0.05). However, in some indices, such as moisture, protein and ash, there were increased trend in synbiotic treatment, but this increase was not significant (P>0.05). Regarding the results of this study and the lack of meaning of relevant indices in these treatments, it seems that using studied supplements with this concentration does not had an appropriate effect on the studied indices.

The First Cleavage Interval (FCI) of rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) and the Caspian salmon (Salmo trutta caspius) were determined. Fertilization was done using eggs collected from 6-9 individuals from each species. To reduce the effects of individual variation among broodfishes on FCI, the gametes from the same sex and species were pooled before fertilization. Dry fertilization was done and the eggs were incubated at 7.3 ± 0.3 ºC. Sampling was carried out during 5 to 12 hours post fertilization (PF) at 10 min intervals, at each sampling point, at least 30 eggs were collected and were preserved in Davidson fixative after clearing. The eggs were analyzed under x40 magnification to check when the cleavage furrow and/or mitotic division were obvious. The FCI was determined when the complete cleavage furrow presented in at least 50% of sampling eggs. The results showed that the mean FCI for rainbow trout was 3212 ± 30 degree-min (7h, 20 min PF) was significantly shorter than the FCI in the Caspian salmon as 4015 ± 35 degree-min (9h, 10min PF). So, it could be concluded that the suitable time for the Caspian salmon is completely differ from rainbow trout. Future research on the evaluation of any possible differences among individual broodfishes of each species is recommended.

In this research qualitative changes of minced fish were examined in Modified atmosphere (50: 5: 45 for N2: O2: CO2 gases) and Typical packaging stored at supercoiling (-2oC) temperatures, the results showed that the trend of total volatile basic nitrogen change (TVB-N mg / 100 g) by using superchilling method in the modified atmosphere packaging reduced the formation of TVB-N and the increase of this index was significant in typical packaging (P <0.05). The amount of reactive substances with Thiobarbituric acid (TBARS / mg MDA/kg) in typical packaging peaked over than permissible range and reached to 2/27±0/05 mg after 35 days, Whereas the TBARS index was significantly lower in modified atmosphere packaging (P<0.05). The pH changes in treatments were descending and the same, during the evaluation. Entirely there was a significant increase in TBARS and TVB-N in typical packaging samples compared to modified atmosphere packaging. This indicates that fat oxidation during storage in typical packaging due to oxygen penetration into the package and the activity of the oxidative and enzymatic mechanism during storage. In sensory assessments, modified atmosphere packaging treatment obtained a significantly higher quality score in color, odour and texture (P <0.05). This result can be attributed to the effect of modified atmospheric packaging treatment on decreasing or stopping of biochemical activity. Totally, the modified atmosphere packaging as a selective treatment, increase shelf life for five days.

The goldfish (Carassius auratus gibelio) is expanded widely as the most famous fish around the world and is considered a good bio-model. Enzymes can eliminate the effects of anti-nutritional agents and improve the performance of fish growth. The diet due to the effect on quality of eggs, it has attracted much attention; new findings express that the addition of multi-enzymes to diet can have effect on gonadal parameters. The aim of this study is to use the Combo multi enzyme in gold fish diet and investigate its effectiveness on growth, survival rate and reproductive performance. To carry out this experiment, the commercial diet (4EF3001, Thailand) was used and the multi-enzyme Combo® (Zubin Zarrin Co) was added to the diet in 5 treatments of 0, 250, 500, 750 and 1000 mg / kg of diet. This multi-enzyme established the best growth factor in the range of 750 and 1000 mg / kg diet, which was significantly different from the control group (P<0.05) however, there was no significant difference in survival percentage between the experimental groups (P>0.05). Also Como multi with the amount of 1000 mg / kg diet established the highest gonadosomatic index, fecundity and fertilization percentage, which was significantly different from the control group (P<0.05) However, in none of the experimental groups, did not establish difference in hatchability, larval survival and sperm motility percentage significantly (P>0.05). In a general conclusion, Combo multi-enzyme with a value of 750 mg / kg diet as the best value of enzyme for growth and 1000 mg / kg diet is considered as the best level for improving reproductive performance.

The evolution of terrestrial isopods to on the land required several morphological, anatomical and physiological adaptations. The presence of the brood pouch or marsupium in ovigerous females was among the most important features allowing inhabitation of this group in the terrestrial habitats. Cotyledons are specialized structures occurring inside of the marsupium in the advanced terrestrial isopods. These organs involve in secretion of marsupial fluid and in feeding and supplying oxygen for offspring inside the brood pouch. In the present study, cotyledons in seven species of terrestrial isopods including Protracheoniscus major, Mongoloniscus persicus, Hemilepistus elongates, Porcellionides pruinosu, Agabiformius lentus, Porcellio evansi and Porcellio mehrdadi were evaluated based on their shape, relative size, number and arrangement. The results indicated that the shape of the cotyledons was the same in all species as conical. In all species but P. major, there were four cotyledons arranging as one per second to fifth segments whereas in the latter species, there were 12 cotyledons arranging as three per second to fifth segments.

Using of probiotics as organisms that can cause increasing the health and resistance to disease in host, can be reduced the use of antibiotics in aquaculture. In this study, isolation of lactic acid bacteria, Enterococcus sp. and Bacillus sp. from the intestine, water and sediment of the environment of Litopenaeus vannamei from Choebde region of Abadan, Khuzestan, done firstly and then the antimicrobial activity of isolated bacteria against Vibrio harveyi, Yersinia ruckeri, Aeromonas hydrophila and Lactococcus garvieae in two methods of agar well diffusion assay and Cross streak assay, were investigated. Based on the obtained results none of the Bacillus and Enterococcus isolates showed any antimicrobial activity against pathogenic bacteria with both methods but most isolates of acidic bacteria had antimicrobial activity. Afterward three isolates of bacteria with the highest antimicrobial activity (isolates 93, 94 and 95) were identified by sequencing of 16 S rRNA and all of three isolates were identified as strains of Lactobacillus plantarum after the sequencing. Therefore, based on the results of this study, these isolates can be used for the purposes of probiotic in aquaculture, especially shrimp industry in the country, after invitro and invivo studies.

Anostracas have a wide distribution in the world, Considering the appropriate size and relatively desirable nutritional value, they have a very good potential as a live food for different species of aquatic animals. The biological function of all aquatic organisms is directly or indirectly affected by the physico-chemical properties of water. For living organisms in aquatic ecosystems, non-living factors such as temperature, water hardness and pH are among the most important factors in the success of growth and reproduction. The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of various levels of hardness and various ratios of calcium and magnesium on water hardness on hatching performance and the quality of Phallocryptus spinosa larvae. In this experiment, three hardness levels of 200, 500, 1000 mg / L with calcium and magnesium ratios of 100: 0, 80:20, 50:50, 20:80 and 0: 100 were compared to the control treatment with 110 mg / liter hardness. Reproductive and larval quality assessment indices included hatch rate, larval size and mortality rate of larvae. Experiments on the effects of different levels of hardness and various ratios of calcium and magnesium on the Phallocryptus spinosa at a significant level of 0.005 showed that the best rate of hatching of this species was 500 mg / L, and the best ratio of calcium and magnesium was also 50:50 ratio.

Biofilms are one of the mechanisms which cause antibiotic resistance in Pseudomonas Aeruginosa. The aim of present study was to investigate the inhibitory effect of Iron oxide coated Chitosan nanoparticlses on Pseudomonas Aeruginosa clinical isolates and its relevance on bacterial biofilm. Fe3O4 nanoparticle powder synthesized by Co-precipitation method and modified with chitosan. Their properties determined by XRD, FTIR, DLS, TGA and SEM. After preparing the bacterial suspension, the biofilm formation measured in each untreated isolates. Then the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) and the minimum bactericidal concentration (MBC( of iron oxide nanoparticles modified with chitosan which determined by microtiter plate assey. Synthesized nanoparticles inhibited the growth of Pseudomonas aeruginosa in various concentrations (from 0.512 ml/ml to 80mg/ml) also Minimum Inhibitory Concentration of nanoparticles had a direct relevance with the amount of bacterial biofilms. Based on biofilm inhibitory effect of ChitosanCoated Iron Oxide nanoparticles against Pseudomonas Aeruginosastrains, it seems that synthesized nanoparticles have got potential uses for pharmaceutical industries, but more studies are needed.
