cies (ROS) during their respiratory activity. The resulting ROS flux can induce many cellular disturbances, such as depolymerization of polysaccharides and nucleic acids, oxidation of protein sulfhydryl groups, or peroxidation of fatty acids (S t o h s et al., 2000). Antioxidant defense enzymes are important scavengers of these radicals. In aquatic organisms, two important antioxidant defense enzymes are superoxide dismutase (SOD) and catalase (CAT) (P e r e z C a m p o et al., 1993).
