title: Comparative analysis of toxicological and biochemical characteristics of round goby Neogobius melanostomus (Pallas, 1814) from different areas of the Sea of Azov
abstract: Chemical elements are the major pollutants for many reservoirs. They are characterized by high accumulative ability and even in trace amounts affect physiological and biochemical status of fish. In this study we investigated toxicological (Hg, Pb, Cd, As, Fe, Zn and Cu concentrations) and biochemical (level of oxidized proteins and lipid peroxidation, antioxidant enzyme activities (superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT)), cholinesterase (ChE), alanine aminotransferase (ALT), aspartate aminot
