Summary: The study investigated the larval development of the endemic Mesopotamian freshwater species, Garra rufa, in Turkey. Results showed that G. rufa tolerated a range of different temperatures, with the maximum growth rate achieved at 26 degrees Celsius. The research may contribute to the development of better larva culture techniques for the more successful production of doctor fish.

Summary: The age, growth, and reproduction of Schizothorax pseudaksaiensis, a protected aquatic species, were studied in Xinjiang. The fish showed uniform growth, with a spawning period from April to July. The absolute fecundity was 55,652.01+/-25,468.78 eggs per individual, and the relative fecundity was 25.92+/-10.69 eggs per gram.

Summary: The effects of eugenol anaesthesia on the behavioural and cardiovascular responses of doctor fish (Garra rufa) were investigated. The results showed a significant relationship between eugenol concentration and induction of anesthesia, but this relationship weakened slightly during the recovery phase. Increased eugenol concentration led to a decrease in distance movement, movement duration, swimming speed, and mobility. The electrocardiographic results demonstrated that higher eugenol concentrations resulted in higher heart rates and longer QT intervals for the anaesthetized fish.

Summary: The study found that thymol and carvacrol effectively induced anesthesia in doctor fish, with increasing carvacrol concentrations leading to significantly increased movement distance and mobility, but higher concentrations of thymol and carvacrol caused avoidance behaviors in doctor fish.

Summary: The use of doctor fish, Garra rufa, is expanding in the treatment of psoriasis and in recreational spas. However, there is a lack of specifically formulated diet that meets the dietary nutrient requirements of doctor fish at different developmental stages. This study aimed to estimate the dietary protein and energy requirements of doctor fish based on a factorial approach.

Summary: Distributed generation refers to small generating plants that develop green energy and are located close to the load buses. In this study, the Garra Rufa optimization algorithm is selected to determine the optimal allocation of these plants. The algorithm, inspired by the activity of massage fish, is implemented using MATLAB software. The proposed method is validated using the IEEE 30 and 14 bus standard test systems, and the results show its high performance compared to other algorithms.

Summary: Deadly floods in northwestern Iran in April 2017 were caused by torrential rainfall and rapid snowmelt, with an atmospheric river (AR) found responsible. The AR, propagating across the Middle East and North Africa, brought precipitation and warm advection triggering the snowmelt, beneficially impacting Lake Urmia while facilitating dust transport in the region. Furthermore, this event was successfully predicted 7 days in advance, showcasing the crucial importance of early warning systems.

Summary: This study investigated the age, growth, and reproductive characteristics of Euchiloglanis davidi, a species of Sisoridae fishes, from the Yalong River, China. The research found that E. davidi has slow growth and low fecundity, making it vulnerable to exploitation in the middle and lower reaches of the river.

Summary: This paper highlights the existence of a middle-income trap in the Middle East and North Africa region, with economic growth rates significantly lower than that in East Asia and the Pacific region, and tending to drop at earlier income levels. The study also reveals a relatively slow pace of technology adoption in the region, with slower adoption linked to lower economic growth rates.

Summary: This study investigated the age, growth, reproduction, and resource development status of the critically endangered freshwater fish Ptychidio jordani in the Hongshui River, China. A total of 525 specimens were collected monthly from October 2021 to September 2022. The study provided data on key life-history traits of P. jordani, including age determination, growth patterns, sex ratio, sexual maturity, spawning period, fecundity, and exploitation rate. These findings are important for conservation strategies and policy development.

Summary: By analyzing genomes from 91 Bronze Age individuals in East-Central Europe, the researchers found that Middle Bronze Age populations were formed by an admixture event involving individuals with a relatively high genetic component associated with European hunter-gatherers and that their social structure was primarily patrilocal.

Summary: Daily aerosol optical depth and meteorological fields are analyzed to study the spatial patterns of AOD in the west part of Iran during 2003-2012. High AODs in southwest and west/northwest Iran are associated with specific atmospheric circulation patterns, with stronger influences in spring and summer.

Summary: This study applies the von Bertalanffy growth equation to analyze the age structure and growth characteristics of Ptychobarbus dipogon in the Yarlung Zangbo River. The results show that the population of Ptychobarbus dipogon is overfished, suggesting the need for strengthened conservation and protection measures.

Summary: This study fills the gap in the literature by investigating the impact of human capital on the population-economic growth dynamics in MENA countries. The findings suggest that both population growth and human capital indicators have a positive influence on economic growth, and the net effect of population growth on economic growth is mostly positive when human capital is taken into account.

Summary: Cobitis faridpaki, a small endemic loach, was studied in northern Iran to investigate its reproductive parameters including sex ratio, spawning season, fecundity, and oocyte diameters. The study found a dominance of females during the pre-spawning and spawning periods and determined the spawning period to be from late March to early May. The absolute and relative fecundity of females were found to be positively correlated with total length and weight. The study also observed a multi-modal distribution of oocyte diameters, indicating that the species is a multispawner. This research provides important information for future conservation programs.

Summary: This study provides comparative population dynamics information for Palaemon adspersus and P. elegans shrimps on the southeastern coast of the Caspian Sea. The results show that both shrimps have the highest abundance in autumn. The average total length is different between the two species, with P. adspersus being larger than P. elegans. Additionally, there are differences in growth type and recruitment pattern between the two shrimp species.

Summary: This study described the life-history characteristics of the Caucasian dwarf goby collected in the highly degraded Gomishan wetland of Iran, including short lifespan, female dominance, low fecundity, large oocytes, and dependence on the wetland for spawning. Given the adverse environmental changes in wetlands, this species is likely to face a high risk of extinction.

Summary: The study found that diatom species diversity is highest in winter and lowest in spring. Temperature and salinity are the major factors influencing diatom diversity and abundance along the Caspian Sea shore. Thalassiosira fasciculata, T. caspica, and Melosira caspica are recommended as biological indicators in this area.
