Abstract

Serum and muscle activities of enzymes (LDH, ALD, CK and ICDH) in intensively farmed catfish (Ictalurus melas) and common carp (Cyprinus carpio) were determined bimonthly between July 1 and November 2. Catfish serum enzymes showed no significant differences under different environmental conditions (exception = CK; values increased slighfly in the last sample). In carp serum, a remarkable increase of LDH and ALD occurred during the cold season. Muscle enzyme activity decreased in both species with decreasing water temperature and reduced metabolic activity.
