Abstract
The effect of pistachio green hull (PGH) at 0, 1.5, 4.5, 13.5 and 27% of the diet on the growth, blood biochemical and hematological parameters of rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) of 27.03±0.58 g was investigated in a completely randomized design and in three replications with 14 fish individuals in each. At the end of 8 weeks feeding trial, blood samples were randomly taken from 4 individulas in each replication. Results showed significant differences (p<0.05) in SGR and FCR between 27% treatment and other treatments. No significant differences in Alb, Glo, Tg, GOT (p>0.05) were observed among treatments. Tp (2.76±0.15 g/dl), LDH (2139±44.26 IU/l), ALP (331.9±21.4 IU/l), GPT (407±17.82 IU/l), Hb (8.73±0.7 g/dl) and Hct (33.33±2.28%) had significant differences in group receiving 27% PGH compared with other group (p<0.05). Results showed that high levels of PGH in the diet of rainbow trout had adverse effects on health and growth factors.

Abstract
Aims: Due to the high consumption of Pickhandle Barracuda, it is necessary to prepare its amino acid profile. The aim of this study was to investigate the proximate composition and amino acid profile of Pickhandle Barracuda and Yellowtail Barracuda fillet in autumn and spring.
Materials & Methods: The present experimental study was carried out on Pickhandle Barracuda and Yellowtail Barracuda in autumn and spring. The fish were equivalently divided in 2 groups of male and female in 3 clusters, each containing 7 fish. The total amino acid composition was performed by liquid chromatography. The data were analyzed by GRAPHPAD-PRISM 5 software, using unpaired T test.
Findings: In two species, moisture in autumn was higher than spring, but, compared to autumn, the amount of fat, protein, and total ash had a significant difference in spring. In spring, the essential/nonessential (E/NE) amino acid ratio and aromatic amino acids did not have any significant differences in two species, but other measures had significant differences. In autumn, the E/NE ratio and acidic amino acids did not have any significant differences. Chemical indices were more than 1 based on the needs of the adult human. In two species, Leucine showed depletion in the range of 2 to 5 years in autumn and spring.
Conclusion: Both species have a higher moisture in autumn, but the amount of fat, protein, and total ash in spring is higher than autumn. The most common amino acids in both seasons are Glutamic acid and Aspartic acid. Regarding the essential amino acids, there is no depletion in adult human necessity in two species in two seasons. Based on the needs of children aged 2 to 5 years, Leucine has depletion in both species.

Abstract
In this study, coastal sediments of Qeshm, Bandar Khamir and Bandar Laft regions in Hormozgan province were studied to determine the level of contamination of heavy metals lead, nickel, zinc, iron and copper by natural processes or human activities. In order to identify environmental pollutants caused by heavy metals, shovel sampling was performed from the sediments of these areas to measure the concentration of heavy metals and determine the enrichment index. The location of the samples was determined using a GPS device and sampling of surface sediments (tidal zone) was performed at 30 stations in the study areas. Atomic absorption of flame spectrometry was used to determine the concentration of heavy metals. The results showed that the mean concentrations of heavy elements lead, nickel, zinc, iron and copper in all sampling stations showed a significant difference (p<0.05). In terms of concentration of studied elements in Qeshm region (copper: 33.76 ± 1.88, zinc: 85.44 ± 2.75, lead: 31.79± 1.23, nickel: 34.17 ± 2.29 and Iron: 38000±691.21 μg/g) compared to Bandar Khamir (copper: 26.84 ± 2.30, zinc: 77.54 ± 2.12, lead: 24.71± 1.37, nickel:25.82± 1.30 and iron: 36810± 482.882 μg/g) and Bandar Laft (copper: 22.74± 2.42, zinc: 65.22±2.61, lead: 19.93± 1.32, nickel: 21.70±2.06 and iron: 35560±1014.56 μg/g) had higher contamination. The results also showed that the metal enrichment factor is low in all sediment samples and in terms of Müller geochemical index, the degree of soil contamination is in the category of non-contaminated soils.
