Abstract: Theoretical foundations for research included the estimations of reference evapotranspiration (ETo) in the midmost Euphrates region and southern Iraq by applying seven mathematical models as well as CROPWAT 8.0 and CLIMWAT software using two sets of climatic data for periods 1970 - 2002 and 2004 - 2010.The results could be summarized as follow : - 1. The annual mean of ETo calculated by the Penman - Monteith equation (PM) for the meteorological stations of Nasiriya, Amarah, Semawa, Najaf, Diwaniya and Kerballa were (6.00, 6.20, 5.92,5.97,6.13,5.74) mm day - 1 respectively, during the first measurement period, and (6.47, 6.08, 5.86, 5.98, 6.13, 5.65) mm day - 1 respectively, during the second period. Also, the ETo estimated by CROPWAT 8.0 and imported by CLIMWAT software have showed the same trend of PM calculations with overestimate reached (6.10, 5.93) % during the first and secondperiods for CROPWAT 8.0 software, and underestimate for ETo reached 8.16 %during the first period for CLIMWAT software compared to PM calculations.2. The statistical criterions for evaluating the performance of six empiricalequations of the original versions were compared with the Penman - Monteithequation revealed that the variations in their performance with relativelypreference for temperature - based equations in comparison with radiation - basedequations. Blancy - Criddle (1950) equation (BC) has proved superiorperformance in Nasiriya, Semawa, Najaf, Diwaniya and Kerballa stations duringboth periods, also in Amarah station during the second period and declining itsperformance for the benefit of Kharrufa equation (1985) (K) during the firstperiod of measurement.3. The calibration process of the six empirical equations including : Hargreaves - Samani (1985) (HS), Makkink (1957) (M) , Priestley - Taylor (1972)(PT),andHargreaves (1975) (H) in addition to BC and K equations were made bysubstituting recalibrated constant values for the original constant values afterthese constant had modified to fit PM calculations and it used a set of statisticalcriterions to verify the validity of calibration and its ability to reduce theestimates errors compared to the original formulas. As the indices ofconcordance (D), confidence (C), correlation (r) and regression (R2) togetherwith the Nash - Sutcliffe Efficiency(NSE), standard deviation ratio (RSR). meanabsolute error (MAE), root mean square error (RMSE), relative error (RE)indicators and the ratio between both average estimations of ETo (r) are used toassess the validation of calibration and optimization which revealed thatconfidence became high in modified equations with reducing the estimation errorof ETo due to approach the values of these criterions from optimal value, then,they had improved efficiency of the six equations to simulate the values of EToare more accuracy than original formulae.4. The proposed new constants for the estimation of the ETo with : BC was 1.37for the time periods from January to April and 1.39 for May to December insteadof the original constant 1 : 41, HS was for the time periods from Octoberto March and for April to September instead of the original constantb0.0023, K was for June - July and for remained months instead of theoriginal constant 0.34, M are for the time periods from November to Mayand for June to October instead of the original constant 0.61, the equationsPT and H were 1.96 and 0 0.0165 for the period of December - May and 2.61and 0.0178 for the period from June to November instead of the originalconstants of 1.26 and 0.0135 respectively and equationsThe side applied to the study has included the implementation of the fieldexperiment for the cultivation of sunflower crop through the loop spring 2013 inprivate farm lies according to the geographical positioning system (GPS) withinthe coordinates (606,366.3437642), (606320, 3437729), (606353, 3437749),(606400, 3437660), is located in Batah town, Thi Qar province, at a distance of 17km west of the city of Nasiriyah, up 5 meters from the sea surface. The mainobjective of experiment included the following : i. Measuring ETo for the study through the crop growing seasonii. To determine the crop coefficient (Kc) and the actual water consumption(ETa) of sunflower crop in the Batah areaiii. . To asses effect of irrigation scheduling and fertilizer application as well astheir combinations on the growth indicators, nutrient uptake, dry matter,crop yields, the crop water use efficiency and water productivity.iv. Evaluating impact of irrigation scheduling and fertilizer application besidestheir combinations on some of soil physical properties at the end season.A field experiment was carried out using factorial experiment in a randomizedcomplete block design (RCBD) Layout with three replications in two factors, nineirrigation Scheduling treatments were assigned to the main plots and four fertilizertreatments were assigned to the subplots. Sunflower seeds (flame) were planted onMarch 23 with plant density 61538 plant ha - 1; the harvest operation was conductedon 18 / July / 2013.The irrigation Scheduling was achieved based on replenish root zone to theborders of field capacity when it reach the percentage of management allowabledepletion (MAD) identified about 55% of total available water (TAW), taking intoaccount the diversity of the effective depth of the root zone according to the stagesof growth, . The experiment involved Irrigation scheduling of the sunflower basedby calculating ETa using Kc which adjusted in situ multiplying by ETo thatestimated by PM equation (S1) ,original BC equation (S2) and adjusted K equation(S3) using meteorological data for real time that collected from agrometeorologicalstation nearby the field. PM equation (S6) using historicalmeteorological data and from pan evaporation with applied (FAO 56, 1998) tocalculate pan coefficient (S4). Whereas, irrigation Scheduling based on soil waterbalance according to daily measurements of soil moisture and adjusted daily onthe basis of changes in moisture content (soil water balance) (S5), fixed irrigationinterval and variable irrigation depth (S7), different irrigation interval and variableirrigation depth (S8) and soil water balance for bare soil (S9). Also the studyincluded four fertilization treatments were used ( F : mineral fertilizer, C : Compost,M : mineral fertilizer + Compost , N : non fertilization). The results showed thefollow : c1. The maximum value of ETo during season growth of sunflower crops accordingto field measurements has increased significantly when using evaporation pan,which gave the highest average rate of 8.81 mm day - 1 in comparison with PMequation that recorded the lowest value of ETo with mean equal to 8.00 mm day - 1,while BC and K gave 8.66 and 8.14 mm day - 1 respectively.2. The converged seasonal mean of Kc value for sunflower crops during growthseason were 0.864, 0.862, 0.863, 0.861, 0.862, 0.862, 0.861, 0.862 for S1 - S8treatments respectively, while the Kc varied in different stages of growth, thehigher value of Kc was 1.213 observed during the flowering stage, followed bytwo phases of vegetative growth and maturity with mean 0.796, 0.494respectively, whereas the lowest values (0.350) was recorded in the initial stage3. The ETa values were variable with various irrigation Scheduling treatments,the treatments (S1 - S8) gave mean ( 876.86, 938.98, 885.57, 943.40, 898.47,949.05, 835.61, 839.76) mm Season - 1 respectively, the mean values of ETa aredistributed as 52.28% during flowering stage, 23.38% through maturity, 18.97%during vegetative growth stage and 5.36% in the initial stage4. The Irrigation scheduling of the sunflower based on S5 treatment caused toincrement of water consumption by transpiration during flowering stage to reach83% from total ETa depth, whereas The Irrigation scheduling based on S7treatment caused to increment of water consumption by evaporation during thesame stage to reach 29% from total ETa depth.5. The results demonstrated that all Irrigation scheduling have been showed astrong relationship with water balance measurement (S5), by R2 is greater than0.91 and r greater than 0.95, also, the results showed there was a preference to therevised K equation to calculate ETa of sunflower crops in the region according toindicators of regression model each of the R2, slope and intercept which amountedto 0.9395, 0.9875, - 0.0144 respectively.6. The overall mean of net irrigation depth was 874.6 mm season - 1 ranged from941 mm season - 1 for S4 treatment to 800 mm season - 1 for S7 . the addition ofwater was 14 applications for S1 - S4 treatments and 15, 13, 12 applications for S5,S8, S7 respectively.7. The lowest nitrogen concentration in the leaves of Sunflower crops duringflowering stage related to decrease water supply at S7 (27.69 g kg - 1) , then, itincreased to maximum value ( 31.48 g kg - 1) when irrigation Scheduling based onS1 followed by S3, S5, S2, S4 treatments,. As respect with maturation stages theS5 treatment gave maximum mean (26.81 g kg - 1) was significantly superiorcompared to all treatments except S1 and it gave increment in nitrogenconcentration equal to 22% in comparison with S8 which recorded lowest nitrogenconcentration (21.94 g kg - 1). The results showed the F treatment was significantlysuperior followed by M treatment which gave average 34.43, 33.42 g kg - 1 duringflowering stage and 28.69, 26.48 g kg - 1 during maturation stage respectively.8. Increasing irrigation depth due to an application S4 and S6 treatments andIncreasing the irrigation frequency for S5 treatment led to significant increment inthe bulk density for 0 - 15 cm depth with mean 1.393, 1.384, 1.386 M m - 3respectively, the bulk density decreased steadily with decreasing of irrigationddepth and irrigation interval until reach their lowest level (1.350 M m - 3) at S7treatment. The bulk density was significantly decreasing when C and M treatmentswere applied with means of equal to (1.362, 1.364) M m - 3 respectively, atmagnitude 1% higher than their initial values. Also the results showed theirrigation scheduling treatments and fertilizer application as well as theircombinations failed to exhibit any significant influence on bulk density for depths15 - 30 cm and 30 - 45 cm.9. The results showed a significant increase in the soil penetration resistance forsoil with high watery supply (S4 and S6), while that status is significantlydecreased under treatment of low watery supply (S7, S8 and S1), the soils withmedium watery supply causing the pattern moderate between the two, also, thisepithet is significantly reduced when you add compost with an average of 708.09kPa, while there was a significant increase resulted from control treatment andaddition of chemical fertilizer alone, the proportion of 31.81 and 18.41%sequentially compared with the addition of compost.10. The results showed the possibility basic infiltration rate for most treatmentsunder the category (moderately slow) according to Landor (1991), by the mean ofbasic infiltration rate was 1. cm h - 1 ranged between 0. to 3. cm h - 1, whereasbasic infiltration rate for S4N and S9 decreased to 0.6 , 0.51 cm h - 1 respectively,thus it can be classified into (slow) while it increased greater than 2.0 cm h - 1 forS1C, S1M, S2M, S5C, S7F, S7M,S7C, S8M treatments which refer to moderateinfiltration rate according to the same classification . C and M fertilization led toimprove soil physical properties, which in turn positively affected the infiltrationrate with increment in magnitude (5 , 56) % respectively, compared to Ftreatment.11. Treatment of F gave a significant superior in most morphologicalcharacteristics and yield components, the efficiency of F treatment for productionwas 37.45 % followed by M and C treatments were achieved 24.66, 19.24 %respectively, compared to N treatment.12. Treatment F achieved highest yield of grains 1945.80 kg ha - 1, an increasing was24.32% in comparison with N treatment which gave lowest yield of grains reached1367.24 kg ha - 1, also there were a significant increase in crop water use efficiencyand water productivity are associated with application of F and M fertilization13. The productivity characteristics of sunflower were significantly affected byirrigation Scheduling treatments, The highest seed yield 1893.8 kg ha - 1and thehighest dry matter 5246.2 kg ha - 1were obtained under S5 treatment, while the S7treatment recorded lowest values of these indicators (1512.5 and 3765.4) kg ha - 1 respectively,14. The application of Irrigation scheduling based on S5, S1 and S3 treatments achieved a significant increase in crop water use efficiency and water productivity, the mean of first parameter was (0.219, 0.216, 0.216) kg m - 3 respectively, and themean of the second parameter was (0.228, 0.220, 0.219) kg m - 3 respectively.

Abstract: ditch opener and manure laying machine was designed and manufactured in the agricultural machines and equipment dept., Agriculture college, Basrah university in 2015. This machine was evaluated to determine its mechanical performance and its ability in laying manure in ditches under the soil surface as well as the effect of the added manure on the soil physical and chemical properties, corn crop growth and production parameters.The machine consists of a frame, manure tank, chemical fertilizers tank, subsoiler for soil disturbance down to 80 cm, two boards for soil digging out to open the ditch , two boards to return the soil to ditch to bury the manure , manure and chemical fertilizers feeding mechanisms and blades for manure mixing with the soil. Also its provide with two pipes to transfer the chemical fertilizers to the soil and a petrol engine to operate the two feeding mechanism.The machine disturbed the soil by the subsoiler and digging different ditches of different depths by two boards . In additional to that it can lay the manure at different levels in the opened ditches using the feeding mechanism and thereafter buried the manure in the soil . The manure can be laid under the soil as separate layer or mixed with soil using the mixing blades.Three experiments were conducted to evaluate the machine performance. These experiments are : (1) - Laboratory experiments were conducted to study the effect of the machine forward speeds (0.32, 0.46 and 0.63 m sec - 1), manure feeding mechanisms rotating speeds (360, 440, 560, 710 and 880 rpm) and two manure feeding openings areas (0.024 and 0.048 m2) as well as the interaction of the above parameters on the amount of the manure per hectare (ton ha - 1). These results were analyzed using CRD and the statistical program (Genstat). Mean results were compared using least significant difference (RLSD) at 0.05 level.The results showed the manure amount per hectare significantly increased as the rotating speeds of the feeding mechanism increased,Bthe forward speeds decreased and the feeding opening areas increased. The highest value was recorded for forward speed of 0.32 m sec - 1 , rotating speed of 880 rpm and feeding open area of 0.048 m2. These means are 64.17, 62.06 and 54.06 ton ha - 1 respectively. while the forward speed of 0.63 m sec - 1 , rotating speed of 360 rpm and the feeding open area of 0.024 m2 gave the lower values which they are 26.91, 30.04 and 33.75 ton ha - 1 respectively. Also, the forward speed of 0.32 m sec - 1 , the rotating speed of 880 rpm and the feeding area of 0.048 m2 recorded the highest amount of manure per hectare (110.00 ton) while the forward speed of 0.63 m sec - 1 , rotating speed of 360 rpm and manure feeding area of 0.024 m2 recorded the lowest value of manure per hectare (4.00 ton).(2) - A field experiment was conducted in silty loam soil in the agriculture college field at Garmit Ali location to study the effect of the implement operation depths (10, 20, 30, 40 and 50 cm), the angle between the soil digging out boards (45⁰ and 60⁰) two soil types namely cultivated soil before one year and uncultivated soil and their interaction on the implement mechanical performance parameters . These parameters are the draft force, soil disturbed area and the energy utilization efficiency (EUE) as well as the draft force requirement of the implement units (subsoiler, ditch opening boards, soil returning boards and soil mixing blades). The results were analyzed using RCBD. The analyzing was carried out by the statistical program (Genstat). Mean results were compared using RLSD at probability level of 5% , and showed the followings : (2 - 1) - The draft force, the disturbed area and the energy utilization efficiency increased significantly when the operating depth increased from 10 to 50 cm. The amount of the increase is 26.66 kN , 0.4111 m2 and 7.67 m3 mJ - 1 respectively.(2 - 2) - The angle between the opening boards of 60⁰ significantly surpassed angle of 45⁰ in increasing the draft force, the disturbed area and EUE. The percentage of increase is 12.55 , 21.93 and 10.85 % respectively.C(2 - 3) - The draft force decreased while the disturbed area and EUE increased by 16.30, 14.91 and 20.72 % in the disturbed soil compared with undisturbed soil respectively.(2 - 4) - The draft force requirement of the subsoiler was higher than that for the other implement parts. The share of the draft force requirement of the subsoiler was 60 % out of the total draft force requirement of the implement while it was 26, 9 and 5 % for the ditch opening boards, the soil returning boards and soil mixing blades respectively.(2 - 5) - The draft force requirement of all implement units increased significantly with implement operating depths and the angle between the ditch opening boards and it was higher in the uncultivated soil compared with the cultivated soil. The draft force requirement of the soil returning boards and the soil mixing blades in both soil types was not significantly different.(3) - Another field experiment was conducted in the field of the agriculture college at Garmit Ali location in the season of 2015 in a cultivated soil of silty loam texture. The aims of the experiment were to study the effect of the added manure level (0, 20 and 40 ton ha - 1), the depths of added manure (10, 20 and 30 cm) and the methods of the addition (subsoil layer and mixing with soil) and their interaction on the soil properties and corn crop (Zea mays L.) growth parameters and yield at the end of the growth season.The soil was plowed and harrowed (soil clods breaking down). The manure was added thereafter by the implement in the soil according to the studied treatments. The corn seeds were sown in rows at 1/7/2015. The drip irrigation method was used to irrigate plants until the end of the experiment 10/10/2015. The other agricultural operations were conducted according to methods used in the around area.Soil and plants samples were collected for analysis and the corn seeds yield was calculated at the end of the growth season. The measurements included soil bulk density, soil moisture content, soilDsalinity, soil pH, the dry weight of the shoot, N, P, K uptake in shoot and the total seeds production.The split - split plot in RCBD design was used to analyze the means using Genstst program. Mean results were compared using RLSD at probability level of 5 %, and showed the followings : (3 - 1) - The manure level of 40 ton ha - 1 surpassed the other two levels (0 and 20 ton ha - 1) in giving higher values of soil moisture content, higher uptake of N, P, K, a greater amount of dry weight and total yield while it gave lower soil bulk density, soil salinity and soil pH.(3 - 2) - Increasing the depth of added manure from 10 to 30 cm with the mixing method lead to significant increase in the soil moisture content, uptake of N, P, K, the dry weight and the total yield production. Whereas the soil bulk density, soil salinity significantly reduced while the soil pH was not significantly affected.(3 - 3) - Mixing of 40 ton manure ha - 1 at depth of 30 cm gave the highest crop growth and yield production which they are 13.94 and 6.75 ton ha - 1, respectively.

Abstract: A field experiment was conducted at Al - Daire site 40 km north of center Basrah Governorate .The study was conducted to investigate the effects of different nitrogen fertilizer levels on dry matter accumulation, (N, P, K) uptake, distribution in different parts of three cultivars of wheat plants and their yield during two seasons (2011 - 2012 & 2012 - 2013).The experiment was split - plots in R.C.B.D design with three replicates, Nitrogen rates (0, 60,120 and 240Kg ha - 1 occupied the main plots, while (IPA - 99, Abu - Graib and Latifia) Cultivars Occupied the sub - plots. Samples of wheat plants were collected at 10 growth stages : seedling stage, tillering (main shoot and 1 tiller), tillering (main shoot and 4 tillers), stem elongation, booting, 50% of spike emergence, 50% flowering, milk stage, dough stage and maturity. Each plant sample was separated into different plant parts : blades, sheathes, stems, flag leaves, spikes and seeds. These parts were dried at 70°C and dry weight of each part was recorded and sub sampled for chemical analysis of N , P , and K. Growth parameters (No. of day till 50% flowering , No. of day from 50% flowering to Maturity , flag leaf area , plant height, spike length and No of tillers m - 2) , yield components (No. of spike m - 2, No. of grain in spike and weight of 1000 grain ),grain yield, biological yield, harvest Index, grain protein percentage and nitrogen use efficiency were also studied.Results showed that dry matter accumulation in plants of all cultivars did not differ at early growth period, While after the growth stage of 50% flowering plants dry weight of Cv.IPA - 99 was higher than other cultivars, This difference in dry weight continue till maturity stage at which total dry weight were 14473.58, 13373.96 and 12743.59 Kg ha - 1 for IPA - 99, Abu - Graib - 3 and Latifia respectively.Dry matter yield were not affected by N levels during the early growth period ,then after dry weight of plants increased as N rates increased ,total dry weight were10752.61, 12737.49 and 15347.10 Kg ha - 1for 0, 60 , 120 Kg Nha - 1 respectively, with no differences between 120 and 240 Kg Nha - 1 levels.Dry matter of plant parts differed among cultivars, with IPA - 99 having the highest results. Increasing nitrogen rates increased weight of different plant parts, but did not influence the relative proportion of each plant part for all cultivars.IIResults also showed reduces in dry weight of different plant parts(except grains)after reaching a maximum weigh at dough stage for Spikes, and 50% flowering for the other parts. The highest decreased was in blades and lowest in sheathes. The application of N fertilizer decreased translocation of dry matter from plant parts to grains. Data showed that no differences in nutrient uptake were observed for cultivars till ending of tillering stage, but after this stage IPA - 99 cultivar showed highest uptake till the end of the season. Nitrogen uptake was157.68,136.72,124.51 Kgha - 1 ,P uptake 19.70,16.93,15,67 Kg ha - 1, K uptake136.30,121.10,112,60 Kg ha - 1 for IPA - 99,Abu - Graib - 3 and Latifia, respectively.Increasing N rate increased nutrient uptake of different plant parts, but did not influence the relative proportion of each plant part for all cultivars.uptake of N, P, and K for all cultivars and nitrogen rates declined as the season progressed, this decline differed among nutrients and plant parts.Grain contained 59.20, 79.00 and 7.45% of total nutrient N, P and K uptake, whereas vegetative parts contained 40.80, 21.00 and 92.55% of total nutrient uptake, respectively.Cultivar IPA - 99 resulted in highest grain yield among studied cultivars. Increasing N rate from 0 to 120 Kg N ha - 1 only increased grain yield, the rate 240 KgNha - 1 did not affect yield significantly as compared with that of 120 Kg N ha - 1.Results also showed a significant interaction between Cultivars and N rates. The highest grain yield obtained at treatment IPA - 99×240 Kg N ha - 1with no significant differences than IPA - 99×120 KgNha - 1.Results indicated that highest nitrogen use efficiency (66.23%) was found in plant of IPA - 99 cultivar, whereas, the lowest efficiency (47.37%) was found in plant of Abu - Graib - 3 cultivar. At all cultivars increasing N rates to 240 KgNha - 1 decreased nitrogen use efficiency.Therefore it can be concluded that 120 Kg Nha - 1 can be recommended as the best rate for N to all cultivars under similar growing conditions

Abstract: The study was conducted to investigate the possibility of using the effluent originated from fertilizers factory/ south region, Basrah province for tomato irrigation. Effluent samples were collected from urea unite line, ammonia unite lion, and collection basin at nine periods during 3\9\2015 to 5\8\2016. Tap water was used as control water. Three types of filters were used to enhance the characteristics of water collected from the fertilizers factory which are Rice Husk Ash filter, sand filter and Rice Husk Ash + sand filter(75 : 25). chemical characteristics (EC, PH, Ca++, Mg++, Na+, K+, Cl - , SO4 - - , total hardness, NO3 - , NH4+, urea) were obtained before and after filtration then Removal efficiency (%) was calculated. Basin on above experiment, a pot culture experiment was conducted to study the effect of fertilizers industry effluents on chemical parameters of soil and its impact on growth parameters of the tomato plant. Each pot was prepared by filling loamy sand soil 10 kg collected from a farm nearby the factory. All the pots were fertilized by manure, phosphorus and potassium. Nitrogen fertilizer (urea) was applied an equivalent of 0, 50% and 100% of recommended level (300 kg N ha - 1). Tomato seedlings (hybride Newton F1) were transplanted in the pots. The pots were irrigated with above fertilizer industry effluents or tap water after the seedlings standing in the pots. After 90 days, soil and plant samples were collected to measure EC, pH, NO3 - in soil, NH4+ in soil, plant height, shoot dry weight, N concentration,number of flowers plant - 1 and number of fruits plant - 1.The results showed that there was a significant changes among sample periods in all water characteristics. The highest removal efficiency of urea, NH4+, NO3 - , cations and anions were recorded by using Rice Husk Ash filter, while the lowest efficiency were recorded by using sand filter. Data alsoBshowed that chemical parameters (EC, NH4+ and NO3 - ) of soil were differed by different filter used and follow the order : control (without filtration) < sand filter < Rice Husk Ash + sand filter < Rice Husk Ash filter. This result was reflected on plant growth parameters (plant high, shoot dry weight, N concentration ,number of flowers plant - 1 and number of fruits plant - 1) and follow the order : Rice Husk Ash + sand filter < Rice Husk Ash filter < sand filter < control. However soil pH was not affected at different filters used. Increasing the level of nitrogen significantly increased EC, NH4+ and NO3 - in soil and decreased soil PH resulted in increased plant parameters. Soil chemical parameters and plant growth parameters were differed by different source of fertilizers industry effluents and follow : ammonia line < urea line < collection basin < tap water. Data also revealed that tomato plant irrigated with water of ammonia line and filtered through Rice Husk Ash + sand filter showed best growth parameters as compared with other plants with higher shoot dry weight of 11.69 g plant - 1. The pot experiment suggested the possibility to using the water of ammonia line which filtered through Rice Husk Ash + sand filter with 50% of nitrogen recommended level to enhance tomato growth and it would save costs on fertilizer and reduction in pollution load of soil and water.

Abstract: An Ecological study was conducted, on monthly basis, for the period from November 2013 to October 2014, on the Lower reaches of the Euphrates River covering a location at northwest of Basrah province within the area between Al - Chebaysh district of Thi Qar province, and Mudayna district of the city of Basrah. The study area covered a distance of 16 kms lies between latitudes 47˚00 ' 18.81 " and 47˚09 '55.46" E and latitudes 30˚57' 41.53" and 30˚57'7.38" N. On 2010 the Ministry of Water Resources constructed an obstruction on the Euphrates River, 11 km west of Mudayna of a width 760 m. It’s aims is to raise water levels in the western side of the river for water to flow to Hor Al - Chebaych. Three stations were selected to execute the study. The former was situated in front of the Chebaish district and with a distance of nine kilometers east where station 2 was located. However, to the east of the constructed embankment and just three kms apart station 3 was chosen. The study revealed that air temperature ranged from 11 - 45°C and water from 10.5 - 37°C, light penetration from 15 to 210 cm. Turbidity from 0.66 NTU in October at station3 and 40.8 NTU in September at station1. Current speed ranged between 0.01 m/s to 0.41 m/s.The lowest value of Electric conductivity (2.4μS/cm) recorded in November at station 3 and the highest (5.74μS/cm) in March at station 1. Total dissolved solids between 1788 mg/ L to 3832 mg/L. the lowest value of pH (7.4) measured in August at station 2 and the highest (8.7) in February at Station 3. Dissolved oxygen ranged from 5.5 to 10.1 mg/L. BOD5 ranged from 0.19 to 3 mg/L. The lowest value of salinity (1.3 g/L) recorded in June and July from Station 2 and the highest (2.9 g/L) was encountered in February at station 3. Total hardness the lowest (880 mg/L) encountered in July at station2 and the highest (1350 mg/L) in February at station3. Total alkalinity ranged from 84 to 182 mg/L. Reactive nitrate ranged from 0.6 to 37.7μg at. N/L. Reactive phosphate ranged from 0.023 to 1.857μg at. P/L. Concentrations of some heavy metals were also studied. Copper was impalpable in November and December in stations2 and 3, but the highest (1.90 μg/L) was in August at station2. Intangible value was also recorded for Lead in November at station3 and the highest (0.1 μg/L) in July of the same station. Non - tangible value encountered for cadmium in November and December at stations 2 and 3 but the highest (12.73 μg/L) in July for station1. The study took in consideration application of the general index to the quality of water (CCME) as seasonal readings were calculated depending on river maintenance system for the year 1967 and amended in 1980. Throughout the study period values ranged between marginal (56.3) and FairB(69). Values were obtained depending on the previous studies, as were between marginal (47) and Fair( 65). Fish community structure was described. A total of 11851 specimens were collected included 28 species and 25 genera belonging to 12 families all belong to class bony fishes Osteichthyes. Cyprinidae came first concerning the number of species (13) and genera (11) and composing 37.44 %, these are Hamri (Barbus luteus), Prussian carp (Carassius auratus), grass carp (Ctenopharyngodon idella), (Acanthobrama marmid), (Alburnus mossulensis), Shillug (Aspius vorax), bunni (Barbus sharpeyi), gattan (Barbus xanthopterus), Hemicultuer leucisculus), small mouth benine (Cyprinon kais), big mouth benine (Cyprinon macrostomum), (Garra rufa) the mullet family Mugilidae formed 35.50 % and consist two species , namely, Liza abu green and Liza subviridis. Tilapia Cichlid family was represented by 21.84 % and two species, namely Tilapia zilli and Oreochromis aureus. Gumbusia (Pociliidae) formed 2.70% and represented by two species , namely (Gambusia holbrooki) and Poecillia latipinna, Clupeids family accounted for 0.025% and represented by two species, namely Tenualosa ilsha) and Nematalsoa nasus. However one species of seven families included Siluridae (Silurus triostegus) 0.58%, Sparidae Acanthopagrus latus (arabicus) 0.57%, Mastacembelidae (Mastacembelus mastacembelus) 0.28% , Hemiramphidae Hyporhampus limbatus)) 0.23% and minnows Engraulidae (Thryssa whiteheadi) rate of 0.345 % and Gobiidae (Bathygobius fuscus) was collected for the first time in the study area and in station 3 at 0.050 % and Heteropneustidae (Heteropneustes foosilis) formed the lowest contribution. The study also was taken in consideration the diversity indices in the Euphrates. The lowest value (1.04) of Shannon diversity index (H) was recorded in May from station1 and the highest (2.70) in the same month from station3, and was the lowest value for the evenness index (J) (0.476) in May was recorded for the station1 and the highest (0.933) in January. The lowest value of richness index (D) (0.868) was obtained in December from station1 and the highest (3.285) in May from station3. The lowest value for Jaccared similarity index (13.25 %) was in October between stations1 and 2 and the highest (100 %) in November and January between stations 1 and 2. Multivariate analysis (CCA) was applied to clarify the relationship between abiotic environmental characteristics and fish distribution in the aquatic environment.

Abstract: The current study aimed to exploit the peels of shrimp in extracting dye, the following results were obtained : shrimp peels contained 1.29% moisture, 1.83% protein, 18.56% fat and 77.82 ash. The astaxanthin dye was extracted and its amount and activity were determined. Five solvents were used to choose the best one in extraction the dye from fresh, dried, boiled and freezed peel. Among all solvents hexane gave less content and activity. Fresh peels gave high content and activity 60.71μg/g and 45.92 % respectively. Mixtures of isopropanol : ether and hexane : acetone also gave high extraction. 90 % acetone showed high extraction of astaxanthin, 79.61μg/g and 98.26% respectively for the activity and content, while results were converged for acetone 90%. Antioxidant activity was measured after 24 hours of incubation, it was increased proportionally with dye concentration and ranged between 83.47 - 98.7% and 2 - 20 mg/ml, respectively. Astaxanthin activity was the best in comparison with standard astaxanthin, BHT, and α - tocopherol, which were 93.76%, 96.75% and 94.50%, respectively at higher concentration. Astaxanthin showed significant antioxidant activity in comparison with standard astaxanthin, BHT, and α - tocopherol, during three months of storage. During the storage period, from the first day to thirteenth antioxidant activity was fixed and ranged between 80.83 - 96.57% at 20 mg/g, while BHT and α - tocopherol activity was between 73.44% - 95.31% and 49.44% - 93.42% respectively at same conditions. Astaxanthin showed high reduction strenth 275%, which was closed to ascorbic acid 278%, while each of BHT, α - tocopherol and citric acid gave reduction force less than the extracted dye, 200 and 190 and 225%, respectively. The pigment gave good ability to chelate Fe (II) at concentration of 89% which was higher than BHT and α - tocopherol, 44.6% and 45.1% respectively, while EDTA, ascorbic acid and citric acid were excellent in chelating Fe (II), 97.7%, 96.9% and 94%, respectively. The capacity of astaxanthin to scavenge hydroxyl radicle was 84.79% which was close to the ascorbic acid and citric acid, 85.45% and 87.39%, respectively, while it was higher than that of BHT and α - tocopherol which have values of 57.45% and 58.13 respectively. The dye showed a clear ability to scavenge the hydrogen peroxide, 83.03% - 89.67%, from a concentration of 12 - 20 mg/ml, which was higher than BHT, α - tocopherol and ascorbic acid at concentration 74.05%, 86.41% and 86.92%, respectively, while it was less than the ability of citric acid to scavenge the radical of hydrogen peroxide that was 92.29%. Astaxanthin was the best in ability to scavenge the radical of the active oxygen in comparison with standard BHT, α - tocopherolSummary الخلاصة - bandascorbic acid, which recorded values of 87%, 71% and 85%, respectively, while it was slightly less than that of citric acid which was 88%. The dye was characterized by thin layer chromatography (TLC), which compared with β - carotene and standard astaxanthin dye and showed three spots closed in their rate of flowing with the standard astaxanthin, and the fourth spot of β - carotene. The values of flowing were 0.35 and 0.55 and 0.73 and 0.97 respectively. The dye was characterized by the infrared spectrum (FTIR), which showed the most important peeks and bands of active functional groups for each of extracted and standard astaxanthin, and it was concluded that they were the same for two dyes. The thermal gravimetric analysis curve (TGA) showed that the extracted dye passed through two stages, the first stage began from evaporate of the water and weight loss at a temperature of 128.17Co, while at the second stage the dye disintegrated at a temperature of 399.29 Co and 85% loss in comparision with standard astaxanthin that needed one stage, 454.37Co and the loss of 84% to reach the disintegration and stabilization phase. The extracted dye was diagnosed by using UV and visible spectrum and compared with the standard astaxanthin, and both of them gave a higher absorbence at wavelength of 565 nm. The determinnation of the cellular toxicity of dye on human solution blood detected that there are no changes in the shape and appearance of blood, this confirmed safety of astaxanthin against decomposition and precipitation of blood. Astaxanthin was used to preserve crude sesame oil that put in two types of containers, dark and transparent, for three months. The peroxide value, value of alansidin, thiobarbituric acid, the value of total oxidation (Totox), conjugated dienes (CD), conjugated trines (CT), and antioxidant activity were estimated. All measures showed significant results for the oil in dark containers in comparesion with oil in transparent. Beef burger was prepared and submitted to sensory evaluation after adding antioxidant to it, stored for 15 days at 4 - 8°C, during this period, peroxide value and TBA value were measured. Cake was prepared and the sensory evaluation was done, then stored for 35 days, also, peroxide value, TBA and acid value were estimated. The concentration of 300 ppm recorded significant results for all treatments and samples that treated with BHT and the blank. So, it was concluded that astaxanthin dye could be used as a natural antioxidants in food preservation to avoid lipid oxidation, and to improve the quality and safety as food supplement with a healthy and beneficial effects.
