Abstract Pearl oyster Pinctada radiata is belongs to the family Pteriidae and is one of the pearl oyster Persian GOlf. This study was amid to determine the optimum amount of salt and its effects on the filtration Pearl maker incidents using phytoplankton Isochrysis aff galbana in five treatments salinity (20, 25, 30, 35 and 40 parts per thousand), and 3 were repeated. Shells with an average length (dorsal-ventral) 49.67± 6.98 mm it was gathered from the Hendorabi island. The initial density of phytoplankton to town with 100,000 cells / ml were considered and at the time of one-hour and two-hour congestion they were counted again. The most of filtration rate was in 35 parts per thousand salinity that it is the first time 2459.77± 89.46 and 14.66% increase in the second hour with 2820.39±57 /00ml / hour / shellfish with other treatments were significantly different (P˂0.05). The filtration rate was about 20 ppt salinity levels in the first hour 140.51±37.02 and in the second hour with 32.12% decrease, 40.55±22.11 ml/ h/ shellfish with Other treatments that were significantly different (P˂0.05). The results showed that best salt for biological activity such as eating, breathing and growing incidents of pearl was in 35 ppt salinity also increases the filtration at second hour in 30, 35 and 40 parts per thousand reflects its ability to adapt in salinity.

Brine shrimp Artemia, is a small crustacean which is found naturally in salt lakes and lagoons. Sofar several bisexual and parthenogenetic Artemia populations have been reported which have different phenotypic and genotypic characters. The biological properties of some populations has not been studied yet. Regarding that the populations of Turkey have not been characterized so far, in present study growth and survival rates of 6 and 5 Artemia populations from Turkey and Iran, have been compared under similar laboratory conditions. The Artemia were reared at salinity of 80 g/l and fed with a mixture of the alga, Dunaliella tertiolecta and enriched yeast with for fatty acids-for 15 days. Survival and total length of the Artemia were measured on days 3,7,11 and 15 of culture. Maximum (82%) and minimum (51%) survival were found for Zanbil and Camalti while maximum (8.93±1.61) and minimum (6.8±0.95) growth rates were for A. urmiana and Qom, respectively. This study also reveled of being different Artemia populations among the studied groups.
