        Fish is one of the most significant and valuable food resources that plays an important role in nutraceutical foods and is the most important source of polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA), in particular n-3 fatty acids. Increasing fish consumption is the only realistic way to increase the beneficial PUFAs and to create more favorable W-6: W-3 in the human food diet. The objective of this project was to determine the fatty acid composition of the muscle tissue of three species of brackish water fish, carp fish, white fish and beluga. In all three types of fish, oleic acid (C18:1c) concentration was the highest. The highest levels of PUFA found in beluga and white fish was linoleic acid (C18:2c) and in carp fish, docosahexaenoic acid (C22:6).   The results showed that the saturated fatty acid in the studied species were 47, 50.2, 24.45 percent respectively. The results for PUFAwas 8.9, 15.9, and 40.73 percent and finally for MUFA were 45.6, 34.4, and 34.9 percent of total fatty acids, respectively. The W6:W3 ratio in these fish species was 0.64, 0.74, and 2.99 respectively. The total amount of fatty acids was analyzed using GC/MS and results were statistically analyzed using analysis of variance method (one - way ANOVA). No significant difference was observed among three studied species of fish (P>0.05). In all three species the unsaturated fatty acid levels were higher than the saturated fatty acid levels and according to their W6:W3 ratio, all three species are considered to be valuable sources of nutrition.  Manuscript profile

        This research was to determine the median lethal concentration (LC50 96h) Glyphosate that is used a lot on arable lands in order to determine the lethal concentration 50% of the fish population in 96 hours on 180 common carp (Cyprinus carpio) fry weighing 3 to 5 g. The experiments were performed as a resident and according to the standard methods (O.E.C.D) for 4 days (96 hours) and measured and controlled physical and chemical parameters of water such as pH, total hardness, dissolved oxygen and temperature. Also investigated the behavior of common carp larvae carefully during the test period. Preliminary experiments were conducted to find a range of lethality by releasing 10 common carp larvae per aquarium 20 liter with continuous aeration. The final test was done 5 treatments (concentrations of 65, 69.64, 74.61, 79.92 and 84.61 ppm) and three replications. The amount of LC10, LC50 and LC90 were calculated using Probit test. Acute toxicity of Glyphosate herbicide in common carps were calculated 68.83 ppm and based on the standards for pesticide toxicity was graded in the row pesticides with low toxicity.
