Abstract: (203 Views)

Plecos (Loricariidae) are a diverse group of freshwater fish known for their sucker mouths and armored bodies. They play an important role in cleaning algae and organic matter and improving water quality. Despite their popularity in aquariums, they face threats from habitat destruction and overfishing. This article highlights the main points about the family Loricariidae (plecos), including their ecological role, physical characteristics, conservation challenges, and behaviors. It also covers topics such as feeding and breeding management while emphasizing the need for sustainable practices in the care of these creatures. This study examines different types of perch based on their geographical location. Methods of data collection: field studies and literature review.The results show: In Iran, the cultivation of tilapia, due to climatic conditions and limited water resources, requires the use of modern systems such as Recirculating Aquaculture Systems (RAS). These methods help reduce water consumption and better control water quality. Additionally, using tilapia as part of polyculture systems can contribute to environmental management and increased productivity.

Keywords: Palko, aquaculture, biotechnology, biology.
