Abstract: The effect of different BaP concentrations on the activities of superoxide dismutase(SOD),glutathione peroxidase(GPx) and catalase(CAT) in Boleophthalmus pectinirostris liver was studied under experimental condition.The results showed that the activities of antioxidant enzymes did not change too much with BaP exposure in lower concentration,whereas the SOD and GPx activities were increased significantly with BaP exposure in higher concentration.No statistical changes were observed in the effect of BaP exposure in different concentrations on CAT activities throughout the experiment.
