Abstract
Present study aims to study antioxidant enzyme activity due to turbidity change in various tissues of Carassius auratus. As for the changes of antioxidant enzyme activity in tissues of C. auratus pursuant to the raising period under 50, 100, and 150 NTU with turbid water levels, there was no great difference between 50 NTU and 100 NTU compared to a control (0 NTU), however, it demonstrated a relatively noticeable difference at 150 NTU high turbid water level. When considering the antioxidant capacity in tissues of C. auratus in terms of DPPH free radical scavenging activity, there was shown a high activity in gill and liver tissues, therefore, it is thought that there appears a non-enzymatic antioxidant reaction when C. auratus is reared under the condition of highly turbid water. As for the enzymatic antioxidant reaction of antioxidant enzyme activity got increased as turbid water level went higher in order of 50, 100, 150 NTU, and the activities of superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT), and glutathione-s-transperase (GST), increased in all tissues except for an integument, up to 20th day when it was started to be reared, and they showed a gradual decrease as time passed by. However, since the activity of glutathione reductase (GR) and glutathione peroxidase (GPX) is very low in almost all tissues, it is thought that the role of those enzymes would be quite ignorable in the course of antioxidant process.
