Freshwater Fishes of Iran

Bibliography

Revised:  06 October 2010
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.

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).

Note that articles published in the "Journal of Ichthyology" are translations from the original Russian journal "Voprosy Ikhtiologii" although pagination (and sometimes issue number) are not the same. Only "Journal of Ichthyology" pagination is cited here but readers may wish to avail themselves of the Russian versions of these articles (however some earlier issues of "Voprosy Ikhtiologii" are only available in Russian). Prior to 1970 the English translation was called "Problems of Ichthyology". Year of publication as marked on the cover of each issue was the one cited here although internal evidence indicates translated issues were often published in the following year, a delay presumably because of translation time required. The date thus used is the Russian date of publication which is the relevant one for the few taxon descriptions appearing in this journal.

There is a moderately extensive grey literature on Iran, mostly manuscript reports of the Department of the Environment, Tehran. Some of these are in English and were written by Peace Corps workers in the 1960s and 1970s. I have cited all those I came across but the listings are by no means exhaustive. Additionally, magazines and newspapers in Iran carry articles on fishes. Regretfully, a complete survey of these was not possible.

The internet now carries English translations of Iranian newspapers and press releases. The URL (Universal Resource Locator) for these and other sites having information on Iran are cited directly in the text and not in this bibliography. Note that links often change or are no longer functional and these textual references serve only to document a source. Generally the date when they were downloaded is given. They may still be accessible but are not hot linked in the text. Some papers cited in this Bibliography have only been seen in their online version and pagination of the original, printed version is unknown. Others are known only from abstracts as costs prevent obtaining all papers when these are marginal to the main purpose of this website - describing the fishes and their general biology.

Transliteration of personal names into English from other languages, notably Farsi, often gives variant spellings. When I am aware that the same person is meant, the original journal spelling is given followed by (sic) to indicate that the author may appear under another spelling. The same (sic) is also used to denote misspellings in titles. Note that family names in Farsi may appear in two forms, a single name or a double-barrelled name (separated or hyphenated), and these are variously used in papers. Personal names may be abbreviated to a single letter when appearing in English but sometimes appears as two letters to accord with the Persian alphabet (e.g. there are single letters s and sh).

The "Iranian Journal of Fisheries Sciences" (from 7(2) 1998 onwards) also appeared earlier as the "Iranian Fisheries Scientific Journal" (3(2) 1994 to 7(1) 1998), and earlier still as "Iranian Fisheries Journal", "Iranian Fisheries Scientific Bulletin" and "Iranian Fisheries Bulletin", is published in Farsi with English abstracts. It sometimes appears as the "Iranian Scientific Fisheries Journal" in Iranian abstracting journals and websites. The "Iranian Journal of Fisheries Sciences" (starting in January 1999 with volume 1(1)) is published in English with Farsi abstracts. The Iranian Fisheries Research Organization (formerly Iranian Fisheries Research and Training Organization) publishes these journals and has a website with lists of publications.

Note that some articles may be identified by journal name and a DOI but not pagination. DOI is the Digital Object Identifier and is found, in these cases, on articles that appear on-line but are not yet in print. Eventually volume, issue and pages replace the DOI herein. Occasionally, some articles seem to languish as a DOI but for most the journal pagination follows within a few months.

The website http://www.sid.ir/En/Index.asp has lists of publications in Iranian journals and abstracts, both in English, as well as in Farsi.

Students of Iranian fishes should also consult the Freshwater Fishes of Iraq website for its Bibliography as this includes additional and complementary studies on species shared with Iran.
