The aim of this study was to investigate the activity of oxidative stress biomarkers (total superoxide dismutase- Tot SOD, manganese containing superoxide dismutase-Mn SOD, copper zinc containing superoxide dismutase-CuZn SOD, catalase-CAT, glutathione peroxidase-GSH-Px and glutathione reductase-GR), as well as biotransformation phase II enzyme glutathione-S-transferase (GST) in the white muscle of longfin gurnard (Chelidonychthys obscurus) at two localities: Platamuni (PL) and the Estuary of the River Bojana (EB) in the south-eastern Adriatic Sea (Montenegro) in winter and spring seasons. Our study represents the first investigation of this kind in the white muscle of longfin gurnard from the south-eastern Adriatic Sea and shows site specific differences between some investigated enzymes, with seasonal effects being the main influencing factor on investigated enzymes at both localities PL and EB.
