The present study aimed to assess the lipid peroxidation (LPO) level under the different environmental
conditions on the common roach (Rutilus rutilus). Lipid peroxides were measured in fish collected
within the Danube River at two points: Veliko Ratno ostrvo (P1), which was considered a reference
point, and Višnjica (P2), the point with compromised water quality. A significant difference is
revealed between the points suggesting signs of stress in fish from the Višnjica point. Concerning that
Višnjica experiences intense environmental pressure, we noticed an increased concentration of lipid
peroxides in the fish liver, compared to those individuals from the P1 (p < 0.05). A significantly
increased level of LPO in fish from P2 can be the indication of the presence of pro-oxidant stressors
that through oxidative stress lead to oxidation of cell lipids in fish. These results give a good base for
R. rutilus to be a bioindicator of a disturbed environment.
