Genome-wide data suggest a revision in management of the Caspian Sea trout Salmo caspius.

Salmo caspius Kessler, 1877 is one of the most commercially important species of Salmonidae in the southern basin of the Caspian Sea. The occurrence of its wild populations has undergone sever reduction during the last years. In spite of the yearly restocking activity, still no progress on the recovery of its wild population has been observed.

Integration of Morphometrics and Machine Learning Enables Accurate Distinction between Wild and Farmed Common Carp.

Morphology and feature selection are key approaches to address several issues in fisheries science and stock management, such as the hypothesis of admixture of Caspian common carp () and farmed carp stocks in Iran. The present study was performed to investigate the population classification of common carp in the southern Caspian basin using data mining algorithms to find the most important characteristic(s) differing between Iranian and farmed common carp. A total of 74 individuals were collected from three locations within the southern Caspian basin and from one farm between November 2015 and April 2016.

Microsatellite Analysis of Five Populations of (Borodin, 1904) Across the Southern Coast of the Caspian Sea.

Genetic diversity studies are essential in characterization of populations and species conservation. is a commercially valuable species native to the Caspian Sea. It is thought to have eight to nine subspecies, but the genetics of these populations remains to be investigated.
