Globally animal models play very important role in the progress of life science in a wide range of biological experimentations. Suitability of different animal model relies on its similarity in genetic makeup, resemble physiological response on diseases of multiple etiology and different drugs, easy maintenance of model animal. Among the fishes, zebrafish and some other species like killifish and cave fish has been found to have great potential and being experimented as an alternative model animal for experimentation of some specific human diseases. Metadata analysis with relevant keywords revealed >8000 research publications on fish model in last 12 years. In India, zebrafish, Danio rerio (Hamilton, 1822), is widely distributed. However, very less attention has so far been paid to understand the importance of the species in biological experimentation except few scattered reports. Besides zebrafish, use of African killifish and cave fish has also been outlined. The present paper synthesized the current knowledge of research and discussed the status and potentials of fish as a model in modern biological experimentation in various medical disorders and recommends their utilization for drug discovery and critical human disease modelling.

This study was conducted to determine the reproductive biology of Nematalosa nasus for a period of 18 months from September 2016 to April 2018 in the coastal waters of the Persian Gulf. In total, 618 specimens (331 males and 287 females) were collected as bycatch in the shrimp bottom trawl net. Fork length ranges from 95-160 mm (mean 135±0.7mm) and 95 to 169mm (mean 139±0.8mm) in males and females, respectively. The overall sex ratio showed that the males were dominating (1.15:1). Also, the size-specific sex ratio showed that the number of males was more dominant in fork length classes less than 135mm, and females generally dominated at lengths greater than 150 mm. Monthly variations in the Gonad Somatic Index (GSI) and morphological maturity stages of ovary indicated that Bloch's gizzard shad had a long spawning season with two distinct peaks in autumn and winter (from September to February). The smallest females mature Bloch's gizzard shad were found in the size classes 120-124mm of fork length and the Lm 50% was estimated at 150mm.

The Hormuz River System (HRS) is located in the southern coastal plain of the Zagros Mountains. Two main river drainages i.e., Mehran and Kol are known from this region, which are directly discharged to the Persian Gulf. The HRS has surprising diversity for tooth-carp fishes (family Aphaniidae). The present study aims to accentuate this notable diversity and discuss the possible cause of diversification of the tooth-carps in the HRS. To date, 15 Aphaniid species have been discovered from the Iranian drainage basins. Among them, 10 species belong to the genus Aphanius , four species belong to the genus Aphaniops , and a single species belonging to the genus Paraphanius . The HRS by having four species (22% of the Iranian tooth-carps) demonstrated the highest diversity among the other Iranian basins. Of these, one belongs to the genus Aphanius ( A. darabensis ) and three species belong to the genus Aphaniops ( A. furcatus , A. ginaonis, and A. hormuzensis ). By considering the degree of endemicity of the tooth-carps fauna relative to the territorial boundaries of drainages, the HRS has the highest endemicity, in which 31% of the Iranian endemic tooth-carp species present only in the HRS. The last connection of the Makran Basin with the HRS dates back to the late Pliocene and lower Pleistocene about 1.8 million years ago. Also, the other vicariance-based events like those events related to the last glacial maximum (21000-18000 BP), population migration during the Early Holocene sea-level rise, and the Holocene to present-day have promoted the intra- and interspecific differentiation of tooth-carps in the HRS. Also, the geological situation of the HRS provided various extreme environmental conditions, which caused a particular increase in the diversification of the tooth-carp species.
霍尔木兹水系(HRS)位于扎格罗斯山脉南部沿海平原。该地区已知两条主要河流，即Mehran河和Kol河，它们直接排放到波斯湾。HRS对齿鱼(齿鱼科)具有惊人的多样性。本研究旨在强调这种显著的多样性，并讨论在HRS齿鱼多样化的可能原因。到目前为止，在伊朗流域已经发现了15种Aphaniid。其中，蛇麻属10种，蛇麻属4种，蛇麻属1种。HRS有4种(占伊朗齿鱼的22%)，在其他伊朗盆地中具有最高的多样性。其中，1种属于蛇属(A. darabensis)， 3种属于蛇属(A. furcatus, A. ginaonis和A. hormuzensis)。通过考虑齿鱼动物群相对于流域领土边界的地方性程度，HRS具有最高的地方性，其中31%的伊朗特有齿鱼物种仅存在于HRS。马克兰盆地与HRS的最后一次联系要追溯到上新世晚期和更新世晚期，距今约180万年前。此外，末次冰期高峰(21000 ~ 18000 BP)、全新世早期海平面上升时期的种群迁移以及全新世至今的种群迁移事件也促进了HRS齿鱼的种内和种间分化。此外，青藏高原的地质条件也提供了各种极端环境条件，使齿鱼的种类多样化程度有所提高。

The geographic isolation and specific character of local habitat could cause variation of morphological characteristics among Cork fish population in different locations. The plasticity of cork fish to adapt to the environment factors possibly has an impact on the different of specific morphological on fish population at different habitat. This study was conducted to investigate the traditional morphometric measurement and truss network differentiation of cork fish populations in different locations at Sumatra Island. Total of 394 cork fish specimens (consisting of 198 males and 196 females) were collected from nine different areas of rivers, swamp and lakes. The samples were analysed based on 14 morphometric (M) and 21 Truss Network Measurement (TNM) characters to find out the significant correlation of the fish on each area sampling. The transformed datasets were proceeded to multivariate testing using Discriminant Function Analysis (DFA) and Cluster Analysis (CA). The results showed that cork fish had 20 distinguishing predominant characters in the head and back of the body. Based on cluster analysis, those fishes were divided into 4 groups depending on geographical isolation except one floodplain population that differs from the other population groups. We revealed that phenotypic dimorphism for female cork fish had a dominant size compared to males in head region and tail fin region. Cork fish in the lake had a dominant body height size compared to rivers and flooded swamps.

The purpose of this study was to develop a framework to investigate the catch trend and estimation of the optimized catch limit of the Largehead hairtail, Trichiurus lepturus , stock by collecting catch data in the Iranian part of Persian Gulf and Oman Sea. In this research, catch data was collected for 20 years (1997-2018) and the optimized catch limit was estimated using data-limited approach and R Software. The average catch (Ct) for this period was 11550 tonnes (95% confidence interval 11500-11599 tonnes) and it has significantly increased over the past two decades (R=0.68, P <0.05). The intrinsic growth rate (r), carrying capacity (K), maximum sustainable yield (MSY), biomass of maximum sustainable yield (Bmsy), current biomass (B), fishing mortality of maximum sustainable yield (Fmsy) and present fishing mortality (F) were obtained by Catch-maximum sustainable yield (CMSY) models. The results showed that stock of the Largehead hairtail is suffering from over fishing and thereby, reduction of the fishing mortality and exploitation rate and bring back them to the MSY level are essential to save the stock.
本研究的目的是通过收集波斯湾和阿曼海伊朗地区的捕捞数据，建立一个框架来调查大头带鱼(Trichiurus lepturus)种群的捕捞趋势和最佳捕捞极限估算。在本研究中，收集了20年(1997-2018)的捕捞数据，并使用数据限制方法和R软件估算了最佳捕捞极限。这一时期的平均捕捞量(Ct)为11550吨(95%置信区间为115500 -11599吨)，在过去20年中显著增加(R=0.68, P <0.05)。利用最大可持续捕获量(CMSY)模型，得到了鱼类的内在生长率(r)、承载能力(K)、最大可持续产量(MSY)、最大可持续产量生物量(Bmsy)、当前生物量(B)、最大可持续产量捕捞死亡率(Fmsy)和当前捕捞死亡率(F)。结果表明，鳙鱼种群正遭受过度捕捞，因此，降低捕捞死亡率和捕捞率，使其恢复到最高可持续产量水平是拯救鳙鱼种群的关键。

The digestive system of Lepidorhombus whiffiagonis was studied using histological and histochemical techniques. The wall of oesophagus and stomach fundus consisted of four histological layers: mucosa, submucosa, muscularis and the outer layer. Mucosa, the innermost layer, usually consisted of three different layers, including epithelium, lamina propria and lamina muscularis mucosae. Submucosa of connective tissue with blood vessels and nerve fibres underlined the mucosa and usually protrudes into the mucosal folds except in the gallbladder where it is completely absent. The muscular layer of the digestive system consisted of smooth muscles arranged in longitudinal, circular or oblique layers. Striated fibres were found in the oesophageal wall. The outermost layer comes as tunica adventitia in upper parts and tunica serosa in lower parts of the digestive system. Hepatocytes were surrounded by a mass of fat-storing cells. Serous acini of pancreas were scattered down the length of the stomach. Alcian blue/PAS technique revealed that alkaline and neutral mucopolysaccharides were present in oesophagus while acidic mucopoly-saccharides was found in the stomach and intestines.

Osteological plasticity of Garra rufa (Heckel, 1843) populations inhabiting 29 rivers in four basins were described and compared. The skeletal elements of G. rufa specimens were stained, cleared and photographed. Studied populations have 12 differences in the head skeleton, four in jaw elements, three in suspensorium, two in opercular series, two in circumorbital series, four in hyoid arches, one in the branchial apparatus, three in Weberian apparatus, three in dorsal fin skeleton, one in anal fin skeleton, one in pectoral fin girdle, three in ventral fin skeleton and two in caudal fin skeleton. These differences could be results of evolutionary adaptations to new habitat conditions and can be used in comparative and phylogenetic studies.
