Abstrac The aim of this study was to determinate the effect of trout farm sewage on fecundity and diversity of macro invertebrate benthoses with some biological indices. This study was done on the Marber River in Semirom city, the southwest area of Isfahan province. Sampling was took place in five stations on summer of 2012, monthly using a Surber sampler (30.5cm×30.5 cm). Sampling in each station was done in three points (edges and middle of the river). Captured samples were fixed in 4% formalin and were taken to the laboratory. In laboratory animals were collected with a sieve of 500 microns in diameter springs to assort and identify to the least level possible (families and genera). In this study, several biological parameters such as: Abundance, Biomass, Similarity, Shannon-Wiener, EPT/ Chironomidae, Margalef richness, Hylsnhvf, BMWP index and ASPT index was used. Eventually 20 families, with 10 orders, 7 classes and 5 phyla were identified.

This study was conducted to determine regional variation in growth characteristics and age structure of Squalius cephalus (Linnaeus, 1758) in the Southern Caspian Sea basin from April to June 2011. A total of 958 specimens from 3 areas including: Golestan (area 1), Mazandaran (area 2) and Guilan(area 3) were collected. In southern Caspian basin, the total length and weight of specimens ranged 22.00-30.00 cm and 138.62-347.70 g, respectively.The ages ranged from 0+ to 5+ years for males and from 0+ to 6+ years for females in all sampling areas. Parameters of von Bertalanffy growth function were different between males and females of each area and between the same sexes of different areas. The largest L∞ was found in the area 3 for female (L∞=38.97 cm).According to b values obtained, both sexes (except males of station 1) show a positive allometric growth. The highest values of condition factor were observed for males in early June. The result indicates that higher value of growth rate was for females.
