Acute toxicity of the pesticide Chlorpyrifos tests were conducted to determine the Lethal concentration LC50 during 48 hours exposure on three species of fresh water Zooplankton: Brachionus calyciflorus ( Rotifera), Mesocyclops leuskarti (Copepoda) and Daphnia magna ( Cladocera). • It was found that the species Daphnia magna is the most sensitive to the pesticide Chlorpyrifos as the value of 48h-LC50=1.28 μg/L, followed by the species Mesocyclops leuskarti 48h-LC50=28 μg/L while it was observed severe lack of sensitivity of the species Brachionus calyciflorus to the pesticide 48h-LC50=910 μg/L. • Depending on the values of the units of toxicity TU has been shown that the toxicity of the pesticide Chlorpyrifos is from the fourth level = highly toxic (TU = 78.30) for Daphnia, and Level III = acute toxicity (TU = 3.57) for Mesocyclops, while it is the first level = non toxic (TU = 0.11) for Brachionus. • Each increase in the concentration of the pesticide 1.0μg/L lead to increase the mortality rate in the species studied about: Daphnia magna ، % 68.79 Mesocyclops leuskarti ، % 0.22 Brachionus calyciflorus % 0.0468 As a result, we can expect that the arrival of the pesticide to aquatic ecosystems will affect the whole bio-community in these ecosystems and the inter their relationships, which in turn could be the cause of the disruption of the ecological balance with vague consequences that are difficult to understand its dimensions.

This paper investigates the proximate analysis of zooplankton and the jellyfish Catostylus perezi through studying the content of proteins, lipids and carbohydrates (as glucose) in three different stations of Al-Khobar coastal area (Saudi Arabia) during four seasons. Physical and chemical factors of water, specific composition, abundance and biomass of zooplankton were also studied. The results indicate clear temporal and spatial differences in the content of organic matter of zooplankton. Proteins values were between 118.8 and 439.7 mg/g and lipids values were between below detection levels and 55.2 mg/g; whereas carbohydrates values ranged between 0.035 and 0.371 mg/g as dry weight. The results indicate clear differences in the content of organic matter of the jellyfish parts especially the medusa.
Five species of Poaceae were collected: Briza minor L., Briza maxima L., Setaria viridis (L.) P.B., Setaria verticillata (L.) P.B., and Eleusine indica Gaertn., Fruct. Sem. Pl. which recorded for the first time in the Flora of Syria. Peels from a daxial and abaxial leaf surfaces were prepared and stained with the safranin . The results showed a clearly differences in these sides: existence or absence of the epidermal elements, their shapes and their measurements among the species from one side, and between adaxial and abaxial leaf surface for the same one from the other side.
This study was conducted to investigate the effect of abrupt and gradual acclimation of Liza aurata fingerlings to fresh water and gradual acclimation to a selected salinity 3‰. L.aurata fingerlings were collected directly from the sea and duplicat e groups of 30 fingerlings were distributed after rest to glass aquaria (100 liter capacity). The first group was acclimated abruptly to fresh water, the second gradually to fresh water, the third was acclimated gradually to 3‰ and the last group was left as control in sea water. The fingerlings were fed artificial diet (35% protein and 500 kcal GE/100g), twice a day to satiation for 75 days.
According to the algae ability in photosynthesis and carbohydrate production with high value in nutrition and industry, this research was carried out during 2015 to study the qualitative and quantitative content of carbohydrates in Chlorella vulgar is which was isolated from southern Syrian fresh water, and to determine the effect of the growth conditions; temperature (15, 25, 35 C), sodium nitrate concentration (0.1, 0.25, 0.4 g/l) and pH (6, 7, 8) on that content. The results showed that the total content was in the range of 20% to 40%;with galactose and rhamnose dominating among the rest of sugars. The temperature 15°C was the best to get the greatest total content with the highest value of starch, cellulose, hemicellulose and pectin. In addition, the low nitrate concentration 0.1 g/l was combined with the highest content of pectin and its compounds, while the glucose content was not affected by the nitrogen concentration. Related to pH effect, the acidic media was proved to be the best for the highest carbohydrate content. Moreover, cellulose, starch, and pectin increased in the alkali medium over the rest of carbohydrates.
