Ecological health is the most important component of the biological health. Macrobenthos invertebrate are the most important organisms in aquatic ecosystems that are used for determination of biological health. Benthic indices base bye data simplifying and shows a set of biological variable as a quantified variable that made the interpretation of data easier, one of this indices is BOPA index that give from ratio of opportunistic Polychaeta to Amphipoda. The higher value of this index shows environmental pollution. The value of BOPA index showed significant difference between stations(p

This study was conducted to investigate the effect of initial stocking density of red algae Gracilaropsis persica and Gracilaria corticata on the growth and biomass production of these species. Three stocking densities of 50 gm-1, 125 gm-1 and 200 gm-1 were used and algae cultivated in Persian Gulf (Bandar Abbas) in winter for 45 days. Algae collected from natural environment and cultivated on poly ethylene rope in the sea. Relative growth rate (RGR) and total biomass were measured fortnightly. Temperature, salinity, pH and nutrients (nitrate, nitrite and phosphate) were measured during the trial. The result of the present study showed that there were significant differences in growth rate between different treatments in both species (P<0.05). Algae that cultivated with 50 gm-1 initial stocking density had the highest relative growth rate in both species. At the end of 45-day trial, total biomass was the highest in 200 gm-1 treatment (P<0.05). Furthermore, the present study showed that the growth rate of Gracilariopsis persica was higher than Gracilaria corticata. The results of the present study showed that stocking density is able to affect the growth of red algae Gracilariopsis persica and Gracilaria corticata and Gracilariopsis persica have higher growth rate and better potential of commercial culture in the Persian Gulf compared to Gracilaria corticata.

In this current study, it is used an Estuary Lake and Coastal Ocean Model of Centre for water research of University of Western Australia, here after ELCOM, to employ a 3D hydrostatic non-uniform simulation of measured data of in late wintertime, 2005 in Oman sea area. The data was achieved by Global Temperature and Salinity Profile Programme, GTSPP. In order to that, simulation covers the whole basin of Persian Gulf, Oman Sea and north of Arabian Sea, to make the simulated profiles independent of Persian Gulf outflows and Indian Ocean Inflows. The simulation was run by temperature and salinity differences of Persian Gulf and Oman Sea, river discharges at the end of Persian Gulf, meteorological data of Qeshm Island for 4 months. Temperature results are in good agreements with measured data, while although salinity trend results are acceptable, the simulation is not capable to generate the low salinity water intrusion between 100 to 400 m.

In order to investigation of growth pattern and body weight-length relationship of narrow clawed crayfish, Astacus leptodactylus in different stages of its life, approximately 10000 newborn crayfish were released in earthen pond. This pond had the similar condition to their habitat. Sampling was done during four stages of their life, under 2 months and 4, 6, 15 months among crayfish population between 1385-1387 years. After separating the samples as sexes (294 males and 259 females), some indices such as total length, total weight, claw weight and abdomen meat weight were measured. The results of this study showed, the mean total weight and length were between 0.15 to 11.76 g and 18.5 to 76.20 mm respectively in male of different age stages, while these indices were measured in female 0.15 - 11.49 g and 18.5 -76.14 mm respectively. There were no significant differences between mean total weight and length values in male and female (p>0.05). There is a power relation between length and weight indices in different parts of the crayfish body for male and female. The growth pattern in experimental crayfish was isometric while the claw growth pattern was observed as allometric in male according to this relationships and regressions analysis.

This study examined the effects of brine discharge from desalination plant Chabahar-Konarak on the sea environment were used to study polychata assemblage. Sediment samples were sampled from 7 stations in pre monsoon and post monsoon in year 2011 using by van veen grab (0/025m2) samplers that 5 stations were around the discharge point and 2 station as controls. The results of the statistical analysis showed that the abundance and richness significances differences (P<0/05) between stations.The most and the lowest abundance of polychaetes were occurred in station 6 with 3666.62 and 2079.92 individuals per m2 in pre and post monsoon and in station1 in pre and post monsoon periods with 306.97 and 0 numbers in m2.The richness, diversity and evenness results indicated that the highest and the lowest values is observed in control stations 0.94, 1.07 and 0/67 in pre monsoon and station 1, zero in post monsoon. According to results, we observed different sensitivity of polychaete to brine discharges because abundance and ecological indices were decreased in stations near the discharges area comparing to control stations far from the brine discharges zone. The most frequancy family in this study was spionidae that it showed tolerance of this family to brine discharges. With monsoon occurrence of stress added to the study area where that the lowest abundance (0) in one station in post monsoon.

Some growth parameters and feeding aspects of the Lizardfish, Saurida tumbil, in Iranian coastal waters of the Persian Gulf (Bushehr Province), were studied by regular monthly collections during February 2006- February 2007. Among a total of 691 specimens, 538 were females, 114 males and 39 immature. The total length for females ranged from 26.1 to 58 (38.9±6.7) and for males from 25.5 to 53.5 (34.20±6.7) cm. The total weight of females ranged from 136-1550 (486.7±281.9) and for males from 116 to 1125 (332±225) g. The length-weight relationship for all fish was W= 0.0064L3.042 suggesting an isometric growth for all the fish sample. Condition factor ranged from 0.43 to 0.94 in different months. The relative length of the gut (RLG) was 0.44 on average, suggesting a carnivorous feeding habit of this fish. The maximum and the minimum gasterosomatic index (GI) (gut weight/total weight) occurred in November and in June, respectively. Amongst the 691 studied fish, 187 fish had empty, 297 semifull and 207 full stomachs. On the basis of stomachs contents, Clupeidae, Trichiuridae, Synodonthidae, Carangidae and shrimp were the most important food items, respectively. Based on the results of this study, it could be concluded that the lizard fish is a voracious piscivore species with a positive allometric growth pattern in juveniles and an isometric growth pattern in adults.

The present study was carried out in order to evaluate the quality of the services at Rajaee Port container terminal. In this study, the SERVQUAL model was used, which is a tool for measuring the quality of services, and the identification and analysis of the existing gaps between the expectations and perceptions of those receiving the services. The participants of this study are the customers at Rajaee Port Container terminal. Judgmental sampling method was used for selecting the sample. The standard and localized questionnaires with Cronbach's alpha was 0.921 and in the expectations section it was 0.895 among the 150 members of sample, of which 102 (68%) questionnaires were returned. To analyze the data, the LISREL software was used to check the reliability of the SERVQUAL and then the SPSS software was used to carry out the T- Test pair sample in order to check the significant gap between the expectations and perceptions of the respondents to the services. The results of the analysis indicate that there is a gap between the services expected by the customers and the services they have been provided with by Rajaee Port container terminal in all five dimension of quality services and from weight importance point of view; the tangible dimension is the most important dimension among other dimensions and after that, reliability, assurance, responsiveness and empathy are of the highest importance respectively. Furthermore, the tangible dimension has the maximum gap and the empathy dimension has the minimum gap between customers’ expectations and perceptions.

This applied research has been conducted to identify and rank the causes of delay in container handling operation in two stages. In the first, having considered the daily census of container handling operation in the pertinent terminal of the port, As well, brain storming cessions attended by experts from the studied container terminals were held during which twenty seven numbers of causes of delay were detected. In the second stage, having considered the detected factors from the first stage, the probability of the causes occurrence, the extent of impact of causes on process after their occurrence and probability of causes detection before having effect on process have been determined by experts in form of a scale ranging from one to ten, Finally based on the obtained scores by each one of the causes, the decision matrix was formed and the mentioned causes were ranked by TOPSIS method. The abstained results showed that the causes of delays in loading and unloading operations in studied container terminals have significant different in the terms of probability of the causes occurrence, the extent of impact of causes on process after their occurrence and probability of causes detection before having effect on process. Finally to mitigation of these causes several strategies have been presented.

Domain design, different starting times and applying internal fixed and moving domains within the coarser simulation domain can play important roles in the results of numerical models in order prediction of tropical cyclones. In this study, Gonu Tropical Cyclone (2007) that it was formed in Arabian Sea and AHW model have been selected to demonstrate this sensitivity. The simulation results in domain design sensitivity showed, the domain that was extended more to the east direction and was included a lower coverage of the Persian Gulf had more accuracy in predicting of track and the best performance and also had an acceptable performance in predicting of hurricane intensity at the time to reach the coast of Oman and Iran. Then, internal fixed and moving domains to separate within this domain is considered and the results showed that despite some improvement in simulated intensity error, there was a reduction of simulated cyclone track. Generally, the results showed that internal fixed domain rather than internal moving domain has the better performance in selected cases. Thereafter, different starting times were tested and the results showed that the simulation starting time, 48 to 60 hours before maximum intensity of storm or in other words, when the central pressure of system shows about 1000 hp has the better performance in simulation of cyclone track and intensity. Finally, the final conditions are tested for Phet tropical cyclone (2010) that was formed in the same area. The results of this testing were satisfactory.
