It was observed from the socio demographic profile that local inhabitants in an around estuaries are dependent totally on estuarine fishery. The working members of the surveyed household of selected sites are maximum in Karla hamlets and minimum in the Area. All study sites are dominated by Sonneratia alba, R. mucronata, Avicennia officinalis, A. marina along with subdominant species. It is noticed while interviewing the inhabitants that majority of the fishermen and women do not have much control over the mangroves on which their livelihood depends. Total eighteen edible estuarine fishery resources have been recorded from the study area.

The total number of fish show clinical abnormalities Aeromonas hydrophila was isolated and identified are 20 fish. Samples were collected during the summer season by using net electric fish.
A total of 34 fishes, belonging to the yellow-finned sea bream Acanthopagrus latus were collected... more A total of 34 fishes, belonging to the yellow-finned sea bream Acanthopagrus latus were collected, in April 2008 from Khor Abdullah northwest Arabian Gulf, by using trawler net. Fishes were surveyed for parasites. The study revealed the presence of two species of parasites the first one is a monogenetic trematode, Polylabris mamaevi and the second is a digenetic trematode, Paradiscogaster farooqii. The detection of P. farooqii in the present study represents its first record in the fishes of the Iraq. Introduction The yellow-finned seabream Acanthopagrus latus is belonging to the family Sparidae (Fischer and Bianchi, 1984), and is a carnivorous fish, with a moderately body size. Although, A. latus is one of the important items of the fisheries in different localities, it also plays an important role in fish aquaculture in ponds or cages (Leu et al., 1991). Munro (1949); Hayashi (1993) mentioned that A. latus is distributed through South Japan, South-East Taiwan, North-East Australia and Philippines. Leu and Chou (1996) stated that A. latus is of a highly economic value besides its high adaptations to different salinities and temperatures. A little attention has been paid to A. latus in Iraq as a few scattered works has been published on the species (Al-Dobeykl, 1986; Hussain et al., 1987; Salem Al-Daraji, Majid Bannai and Abbas Abbas 116 Al-Daham et al., 1993; Hussain et al., 1993; Al-Areeki, 2001). Concerning the parasitic fauna of A. latus in the Iraqi waters, there is only one article (Al-Daraji, 1995) detecting one species of each of the Monogenea and the Digenea from specimens from Khor AlZubair. The present study is aimed to through more light on the parasitic fauna of A. latus especially from Khor Abdullah, NorthWest Arabian Gulf. Material and Methods Thirty-four specimens of Acanthopagrus latus were collected, by using trawler net, from Khor Abdullah, northwest Arabian Gulf during April 2008. Calculations of prevalence and mean intensity of infection were done according to Margolis et al. (1982). The detected worms were treated according to the standard techniques as described by Sey and Nahhas (1997). Drawings of the parasites were done by using microprojection. The monogenetic and digenetic trematodes were identified according to Yamaguti (1963, 1968) and Nahhas et al. (1998), respectively. Results and Discussion The inspection of the fishes revealed their infection with two species of parasites one of them belongs to the Monogenea and the other to the Digenea. The following is a brief account on the description, dimensions and the site of infection of these parasites. Polylabris mamaevi Ogawa et Egusa, 1980 (Fig.1) Site: Gills Prevalence: 17 % Mean intensity of infection: 1.3 Description and measurements (8 specimens): Microcotylidae: Body is elongated with a posteriorly tapering haptor measuring 2.61-3.68 mm. × 0.370-0.483 mm. The haptor was elongated, occupying 44 % of the body length and armed with 117 Some parasites Acanthopagrus latus in the Iraqi marine waters 35-43 clamps arranged in two bilaterally symmetrical parallel subequal raws. Buccal suckers ovoid each sucker is divided into two chambers by a thin transverse septum lying towards the anterior part of the sucker and measuring 0.053-0.064 mm. × 0.051-0.066 mm. Pharynx small, spherical and measuring 0.036-0.049 mm in diameter. Esophagus very short. Intestinal bifurcation occurs immediately at a level of the male copulatory organ. The caeca was blind with lateral diverticula and extends to the posterior extremity of the body. Genital pore armed with circular muscles and occurred midventrally at the level of male copulatory organ. Testes numerous (11-14 in number), transversely elongated and occupied intercaecally the posterior half of the body, each testis measuring 0.053-0.061 mm. × 0.047-0.052 mm. Vas deferens occurred immediately forward of the anterior testis. Seminal vesicale with sigmoid shape and present immediately posterior to the male copulatory organ. Male copulatory organ of conical shape and consist of outer sheath and inner tube. Ovary looks like an inverted U with a short arm, located anterotesticular and measuring 0.0870.116 mm x 0.052-0.055 mm. Vitellaria are follicular and extend from the level of intestinal bifurcation in two lateral fields ending near the posterior end of the body. Hussey (1986) stated that eight species of the genus polylabris are known from different fish hosts and localities. Hayward (1996) in his revision recognized about 17 valide species of Polylabris based on the comparative morphology of the male copulatory organ and the numbers of clamps and testes. P. mamaevi was firstly described by Mamaev and Parukhin (1976) as P. gerres (Sandars, 1944) from the gills of three different species of hosts. Later on Ogawa and Egusa (1980) renamed this species as P. mamaevi. Al-Daraji (1995) in his taxonomic study on the parasitic fauna of the fish of Khor Al-Zubair recorded this species from A. latus for…

Five stations were chosen, starting from the city of Al-FAW in the estuary section of the river to the northern-most station in the Al Hammar Marsh's (the current study was completed within the scientific biological team of Tenualosa ilisha fishes). The study uses' the Parasite as biological tags of fish immigration, three specie's of parasite are described: Nothobomolochus sp. (copepod); Faustula sp and Ectenurus papillatus (digenea). The results of the present study refers that the parasites were collected are appears only in the, first station from the estuary section of the city of Al-FAW with fish lengths 250-460(400) mm in male and female with Faustula sp and Ectenurus papillatus (digenea), and Nothobomolochus sp.

The hydrogels were prepared by the adapted porogen leaching method; this is also the first time this method has been used to incorporate nanocolloidal graphene oxide through the hydrogel and simultaneously form porous structures. The effects of a material’s composition on its chemical, morphological, mechanical, and swelling properties, as well as on cell viability and in vitro degradation, were assessed using Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), measurements of Young’s modulus, gravimeter method and MTT test, respectively. The engineered hydrogels show good swelling capacity, fully hydrophilic surfaces, tunable porosity (from 56 to 76%) and mechanical properties (from 1.69 to 4.78 MPa), curcumin entrapment efficiency abov...
