Abstract
This research have been conducted to investigate pelagic fish larval disperse, biodiversity and morphological features around Hengam Island. The island is located in south coast of Qeshm island in Strait of Hormoz. The bottom of vicinity water of Hengam Island is covered with coral reefs. Sampling carried out from late winter 2012 until late autumn using oblique sampling with 300 µm mesh plankton net. Fish larvae individuals were collected from near bottom to surface with three replicates from six selected sampling sites around the island. A total number of 6832 fish larvae were obtained from several families including Atherinidae, Carangidae, Cepolidae, Engraulidae, Hemiramphidae, Leiognathidae, Lethrinidae, Sillaginidae, Sparidae which consisted 48% of total abundance of larvae. The larval fish of the family Engraulidae was introduced with 0.18 individual per 10 cube meter of filtrated water in autumn as the dominant group. There was significant difference between seasons (ANOVA, p <0.05). Physicochemical factors were also measured at the time of sampling for each station. Negative correlation was found between water temperature and abundance of almost pelagic families using Spearman correlation coefficient. Also morphometric and meristic characteristics of species of fish larvae were studied. Maximum amount of Shannon- Weaner index of diversity and dominance index of Simpson estimated in autumn and summer were estimated 3.37 and 0.72 respectively.

Abstract
Coastal waters of Khuzestan and Hormozgan provinces are very important in the fisheries industry. Due to of direct and indirect impacts of the Jellyfish on the dynamic of fish larvae and zooplankton, study of their population is very important. So that in this study scyphomedusae were collected in summer and winter of 2015 from 6 stations of coastal waters of Khuzestan and Hormozgan. Sampling was taken place using a shrimp trawl net with 55 mm mesh size. The physicochemical parameters of water also were measured while sampling. A total of 8 species of Medusa were identified based on morphological traits. The most abundant species in both seasons and in coasts of Khuzestan and also Hormozgan provinces was Catostylus tagi. The species Marivagia stellate together with Cyanea sp. and Chrysaora spp. genera were reported for the first time from the Persian Gulf waters. Also results of PCA showed that in the first component, the highest correlation obtained between C. tagi and M. stellata with temperature and in the second component, the highest correlation was found between Chrysaora sp1 and salinity. The Shannon diversity Index was calculated to a small extent in Khuzestan waters relative to the coastal waters of Hormozgan. Crambionella orsini species was found only in coastal waters of Khuzestan and Cassiopea andromeda species only in Hormozgan coastal waters.
