Freshwater Fishes of Iran Bibliography Revised: 24 December 2007 This section contains all the papers and books referred to in the text of the web site on Freshwater Fishes of Iran but also attempts to be a bibliography on the freshwater fishes of Iran and their environment. A partial version of this bibliography was first posted on 10 September 1996 and maintained by Yazdan Keivany, then at the University of Alberta, Edmonton. The large number of articles listed here, the length of many, their limited availability, and costs involved make it impossible to loan xeroxes except in restricted cases. Please use your interlibrary loan service. There has been a rapid increase in studies on fishes of Iran, starting in the 1990s. Prior to 1900, this bibliography lists less than 100 publications relevant to this work, many not strictly on Iranian fishes. On a decadal basis, it is only in the 1960s that publications exceed 100 and by the 1990s are an order of magnitude larger. Many articles are available as an abstract at www.sid.ir/En/Index.asp. Use of diacritical marks in various languages in this Bibliography may not always transfer across platforms. As a consequence, some diacritical marks can appear as gibberish letters (with apologies to colleagues in eastern Europe and Turkey). | |
