Atlas of Crabs of the Persian Gulf

Reza Naderloo

This illustrated atlas describes 256 extant brachyuran crab species in the Persian Gulf and the Gulf of Oman. Identification keys are provided for 37 brachyuran families, 144 genera and 256 species on the basis of their main synapomorphies. Brief but precise descriptions highlighting the main characteristics are also provided for every family.
The atlas displays features high-quality color photos, offering a hands-on guide and equipping readers to readily diagnose crab species in the region. Importantly, a line drawing of the first male gonopod, as well as its main diagnostic characteristics, are provided for all species. Further, every species is supplemented with synonymies that encompass the original descriptions, overall revision of the given taxa, monographs and all records from the northwestern Indian Ocean including the Persian Gulf and the Gulf of Oman.
For each species, the book provides detailed local and global distribution maps, together with important ecological data including habitat preference. Further, it includes a general introduction to the brachyuran crabs with schematic drawings of their external morphology, as well as a comprehensive introduction to the Persian Gulf and the Gulf of Oman as marine ecoregions (geography, hydrology, biology, and environmental condition).
The book offers an indispensable guide for all professionals, researchers, and students interested in brachyuran crabs around the globe and particularly in the Persian Gulf and the Gulf of Oman.

Biology and Biotechnology of Actinobacteria

Editors: Joachim Wink, Fatemeh Mohammadipanah, Javad Hamedi

This book provides in-depth insights into the biology, taxonomy, genetics, physiology and biotechnological applications of Actinobacteria. It especially focuses on the latter, reviewing the wide variety of actinobacterial bioactive molecules and their benefits for diverse industrial applications such as agriculture, aquaculture, biofuel production and food technology. Actinobacteria are one of the most promising sources of small bioactive molecules and it is estimated that only a small percentage of actinobacterial bioactive chemicals have been discovered to date. Identifying new diverse gene clusters of biotechnological relevance in the genome of Actinobacteria will be crucial to developing advanced applications for pharmaceutical, industrial and agricultural purposes. The book offers a unique resource for all graduate students, researchers and practitioners in the fields of microbiology, microbial biotechnology, and the genetic engineering of Actinobacteria.

Fish Spermatology

Editors: Sayyed Mohammad Hadi Alavi, Jacky Cosson, Kevin Coward, Gholamreza Rafiee

Aside from their immense importance in intensive commercial aquaculture, teleost fish are vital laboratory animals and are widely used by reproductive physiologists as model species. Over recent years, the control of fertility in commercially-important fish has become a subject of great economic importance in terms of manipulating valuable fisheries resources by adopting broodstock management strategies appropriate to the reproductive traits of the species concerned. This book, with chapters written by leading authorities, reflects the theoretical and practical importance of studies concerning the reproductive physiology of male broodfish. Significant advances and future trends in global research in fish spermatology are presented and discussed in four sections:

  • General Biology: Principles and PracticesGonadal Development and Spermatogenesis
  • Physiology and Biochemistry
  • Aquaculture
