“…In this sense, studies have been performed to determine whether there are differences between the antioxidant systems of more primitive fish in comparison with more recently evolved species. It has been reported that antioxidant enzymes can be correlated with phylogenetic position, with more ancestral biota exhibiting less activity (Rabie et al, 1972;Smith, 1976;Tappel et al, 1982). According to Rudneva (1997) there is a lack in CAT activity and little SOD activity in the erythrocytes of dogfish (Squalus acanthias), a primitive elasmobranch from the Black Sea, suggesting that this fish has a primitive antioxidant system.…”

“…According to some authors, the difference between antioxidant enzymes activities correlate with the species phylogenetic position where ancestral species exhibit the lower activity of those enzymes (Rudneva 1997). Moreover, sturgeons consume lower levels of oxygen which can also explain lower activity observed for antioxidant enzymes (Rabie et al 1972). According to Passi et al (2002) the observed differences may reflect a species-specific response to diet, as it was also observed for different species of fish, cephalopods or crustaceans.…”

Panicz R., Drozd R., Drozd A., Nędzarek A. 2017. Species and sex-specific variation in the antioxidant status of tench, Tinca tinca; wels catfish, Silurus glanis; and sterlet, Acipenser ruthenus (Actinopterygii) reared in cage culture. Acta Ichthyol. Piscat. 47 (3): 213-223.Background. Oxidative stress poses a serious threat to farmed fish, exemplified by depressed growth, decreased disease resistance, and reduced flesh quality. Therefore, the aim of this study was to examine differences in activity of antioxidant enzymes and concentration of selected biochemical parameters between blood plasma of both sexes of three species important for sustainable development of aquaculture: tench, Tinca tinca (Linnaeus, 1758); wels catfish, Silurus glanis Linnaeus, 1758; and sterlet, Acipenser ruthenus Linnaeus, 1758. Materials and methods. Experimental fishes were fed ad libitum for 60 days with a formulated diet (45% proteins, 20% fat, 16% carbohydrates, 8% ash and 2% fibre). At the end of the study venous blood samples were collected and 11 biochemical parameters were assessed: superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT), glutathione peroxidase (GPx), glutathione-S-transferase (GST), total antioxidant capacity (FRAP), alanine transaminase (ALT), aspartate transaminase (AST), lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), bilirubin, albumin, and uric acid. Results.Comparison between species revealed that the most significant differences were observed for tench and sterlet (in FRAP, GPx, CAT, GST LDH, ALT, bilirubin, and uric acid), less significant-for sterlet and wels (in FRAP, GST, LDH, AST, bilirubin, uric acid), followed by tench and wels catfish (in FRAP, GPx, GST, AST, and uric acid). Moreover, significant variations in the level of biochemical markers were also detected between sexes within each species, where the highest number was observed for tench (in FRAP, GPx, albumin, and uric acid), next wells catfish (in SOD, albumin, and bilirubin), and the lowest in sterlet (in ALA). Additionally, numerous differences in antioxidant potential (FRAP), antioxidant defence indices, as well as in markers of liver function, heart dysfunction, and markers of nutritional status were observed as species-specific and sex-specific. Conclusions. Results obtained in this study for the first time demonstrated species-and sex-related differences in plasma activity of antioxidant enzymes and concentration of selected biochemical parameters between tench, wels catfish, and sterlet reared in cage culture. The presented findings provide significant contribution not only to the existing knowledge of fish physiology but will also help to design optimal feeding practices to achieve sustainable cage aquaculture.

The study of biochemical responses in aquatic animals comprises a vigorous area of inquiry within ecotoxicology for a number of reasons, including the perceived need for basic research in the field, the desire for highly sensitive biomarkers useful for biomonitoring and the particular concern for elevated rates of neoplasia observed in some aquatic systems. In this paper, an approach only recently investigated by aquatic toxicologists will be described and reviewed in detail. This approach is based on theories of oxyradical generation and subsequent oxidative stress in biological systems. Of particular concern to environmental toxicologists with respect to these phenomena are the abilities of a number of common and diverse compounds to undergo enzymatically facilitated redox cycling in cells and thereby generate oxyradicals under aerobic conditions. Mechanisms of oxyradical generation, toxicological consequences of these processes and endogenous antioxidant defense systems are described. In addition, methodologies for studying these phenomena are discussed and recent studies demonstrating their applicability to aquatic toxicology are reviewed.
