fa یافته علمی کوتاه: ماهیان رودخانه کل در استان هرمزگان اكولوژي محيطهاي آبي اكولوژي محيطهاي آبي پژوهشي Research <p style="margin-left:39.8pt;">Kol River drains into the Persian Gulf and its watershed encompasses &nbsp;areas &nbsp;in &nbsp;Hormozgan, Kerman and Fars provinces. Identification of fish species of the river was conducted seasonally from summer to winter 2005. We selected 8 sampling stations based on the height of &nbsp;sea &nbsp;level &nbsp;from branches of Kol River near estuary. Totally, 160 specimens were caught with gillnet, cast net and hook. We identified 12 species, 12 genera, 7 families and 5 orders. The most diverse family was Cyprinidae represented by 5 species and 5 genera. In this family, <em>Cyprinion watsoni </em>was caught in 6 sampling stations and <em>Cyprinus carpio </em>species in only one station. Close to estuary, we found marine fish species such as mudskipper of Gobiidae, milk fish of Chanidae, ladyfish&nbsp; of Elopidae, and two species of Mugilidae families. The latter two species of Mugilidae were not seen in other stations. Of the &nbsp;identified &nbsp;species, &nbsp;<em>Iranocichla &nbsp;hormuzensis, &nbsp;Garra persica &nbsp;</em>and &nbsp;<em>Schistura &nbsp;sargadensis &nbsp;</em>were endemic and <em>Cyprinus carpio </em>was considered exotic.</p> <p style="margin-left:40.25pt;"></p> Fish, Diversity, Kol River, Honnuzgan province 143 148 http://isfj.ir/browse.php?a_code=A-10-1417-84&slc_lang=fa&sid=1 A Bagheri آرش باقری Arash.bagheri@gmail.com 100319475328460016376 100319475328460016376 Yes E Kamrani احسان کامرانی 100319475328460016377 100319475328460016377 No H Esmaeili حمید رضا اسماعیلی 100319475328460016378 100319475328460016378 No
