Abstract

Oxidative stress biomarkers: levels of Lipid peroxidation as well as changes in catalase and superoxide dismutase activities were investigated in tissues of African catfish, C heterobranchus inhabiting Warri River. Data were compared to those of reference hatchery. Lipid peroxidation products in fish from the midstream and downstream parts of the river were significantly (P < 0.05) different from fish collected from upstream. Similarly, lipid peroxidation products in tissues of fish from midstream and downstream parts of the river were significantly (P<0.05) different from fish in the reference hatchery. No significant difference was observed between fish in the upper part of the river and those from reference hatchery. Similar to lipid peroxidation, the activities of antioxidant enzymes, catalase and superoxde dismutases (SOD) were significantly (P < 0.05) different in fish from midstream and down stream parts of the river compared to fish collected from upstream and reference hatchery. The elevated levels of lipid peroxidation, catalase and superoxide dismutase activities in all tissues examined in C heterobranchus could be a reflection of oxidative stress on the fish.
