Aluminium is an abundant metal on earth and its concentration has increased in aquatic environments as a result of natural and industrial activities. The aim of this study was to examine the bioaccumulation of aluminium in tissues of liver, gill and muscle of common carp (Cyprinus carpio) that was used in concentrations of 1, 2, 4 and 6 mg/L in vitro. The metal in the tissues after chemical digestion was measured by atomic absorption spectrophotometer. Compare the amount of aluminium accumulation in the tissues of gill, liver and muscle showed significant differences in different concentrations of aluminium with the control group (P<0.05). The highest amount of aluminium accumulation in gill, muscle and liver were 51.3 ± 0.4, 20.86 ± 0.5 and 11.50 ± 0.28 μg/g D.W at a concentration of 6 mg (96 hours), respectively, and the lowest were 1.2 ± 0.01, 2.9 ± 0.1 and 0.18 ± 0.3 μg/g D.W in the control group. The results showed that the highest bioaccumulation of aluminium in different tissues were gill, liver and muscle, respectively. Also, it was found that with increasing concentration of aluminium in the environment, bio-accumulation index decreased because of probably physiological activity of tissues. Significant relationship was observed between exposed time and aluminium accumulation in muscle and liver tissue. The gill is the target organ for aluminium that can be used as an indicator of environmental contamination.

The study of changes the amount of protein, lipid, carbohydrates, fiber, ash and moisture of farmed Litopenaeus vannamei at different stages of growth was performed. Samples at the stages of post larvae 12, shrimp with 1, 2 and 3 months age, grow-out and market shrimp at the end of the period were provided from hatchery and breeding centers in Khuzestan province. Chemical composition w measured by standard methods (AOAC) in muscle of L. vannamei. The highest moisture level in shrimp with 1 month age was 78.3% and the lowest in the market shrimp was 71.43% (P<0.05). The highest protein in muscle of shrimp was 20.18 % and the lowest was in post larvae 12, 15% (P<0.05). The highest lipid in muscle of shrimp was 0.83% and the lowest was 0.4% at stage of 12 post larvae (P<0.05). The highest of carbohydrate in post larvae 12 was 5.73% and the lowest in market shrimp was 0.14%. The highest amount of fiber (0.23%) was measured in 3 months age shrimp (P>0.05). According to the results, by the time that L. vannamei grows, the amount of protein in the muscles increases and this feature makes it suitable for human consumption.

Individual and combined effectsof Nisin Z (1.5%) and sodium citrate (2%) in air-packed Caspian Kutum fillets during the refrigerated storage at 4°C was investigated. Changes in some quality indexes of fish including chemical attributes including TVB-N, PV and TBA and microbial communities counts including mesophilic (TMC), psychrophill (TPC) and lactic acid bacteria (LAB) were determined during days of 0, 3, 6, 9 and 12. The results showed that TVB-N, PV and TBA indices in treatments were higher than control. Mesophilic and psychrophill bacteria in control sample (with 6.53 and 6.71 CFU/g, respectively) reached to acceptable amount, while treatments containing preservatives showed a better condition in both TPC (with 6.63 to 6.93 CFU/g) and TMC (with 6.67 to 6.90 CFU/g) (P<0.01). Also, growth of LAB has controlled at 9 days (with 6.88 CFU/g) but stopped in treatment samples at the same days (P<0.01). The results revealed that Nisin Z in combination with sodium citrate can therefore be used as the effective preservatives to shelf-life of Caspian Kutum fillets during refrigerated storage.

By increasing the aquaculture facilities, using effective anesthetics and introducing new ingredients is so important. In this study,the efficacy of peppermint (Menthaspicata) as an anesthetic for snow trout (Schizothorax zarudnyi) was investigated. The peppermint essence was used for 30 farmed snow trout with mean (±SD) weight 90.97 ± 38.26 g. The fish were divided into five treatments (each consisting of six fish). Four treatments were exposed to peppermint with 200, 250, 350 and 500 mg L-1 concentrations by immersion method. The control group was not exposed to any dose of the anesthetic. The mean time of each anesthetic doses and recovery stages were measured. Results showed that by increasing the peppermint doses, the time of anesthesia were reduced. The minimum and maximum times of total anesthesia were recorded in 500 and 250 mg L-1 with 161.00 ± 83.20 and 88.17 ± 22.52 seconds, while those in 200 mg L-1 was significantly different from the other treatments. The mean recovery time in snow trout in treatment 200 mg L-1 was the lowest (180.00 ± 97.35s) compared to the other treatments. Acute toxicity test indicated that the 96-h LC50 value of peppermint essencewas 119.58 mg L-1. The result of this experiment clearly indicated that peppermint essence in 200 mg L-1 could be used as an effective anesthetic for handling and transport practices of this species.

Nowadays, employing natural compounds has been increased to improve organoleptic properties of fisheries products. In this study, we evaluated the effects of coating by citrus fruits extracts (orange, bitter orange and lime) in different concentrations (0, 5, 10, and 20% of coated materials) on the organoleptic properties of silver carp (Hypophthalmichthys molitrix) fish finger (SCFF). SCFFs were steam - cooked (20 min at 180°C) and then the organoleptic properties were evaluated by semi-trained panelists. Results showed that SCFFs coated with orange extract, especially at 20% concentration, was better than the other treatments in term of odor index (P<0.05). Color and taste values showed higher scores for those coated with 10 and 20% lime extracts. Furthermore, those with 20% lime extract exhibited the best flavor compared to the other treatments. From total acceptability perspective, there was no significant difference between 10 and 20% in all experimental citrus fruits extracts. According to the results, employing 10% citrus fruit extracts could be the proper level for the preparation of SCFF citrus coating. On the other hand, because the three type of citrus fruit selected are in the same family, so we can use them in the fish fingers or analog products on the base of their availability and price.

In this study, the quality of fatty acids in sturgeon caviar were assessed and compared in rearedand wild specimens of beluga, Huso huso caught from the Caspian Sea. The fatty acids profile, n3/n6 and atherogenic and thrombogenic index were also measured. The wild caviar had higher PUFA and n3/n6 than reared fish (P<0.05). The EPA + DHA content in wild caviar (20.7) was significantly higher than reared specimens (10.54) (P<0.05). Atherogenic index in wild (0.33) was significantly higher than reared (0.27), while thrombogenic index in reared was higher than wild (P<0.05). The results obtained from the present study show that the reared beluga caviar has a good quality and is a suitable alternative for wild caviar.
