Abstract
Changes in the activity of the main lysosomal proteases (cathepsins B and D) in the emryos and early larvae of the salmon, trout and whitefi sh induced by various toxicants (heavy metals, surface-active compound s, and mixtures of toxicants) have been studied. The results obtained suggest a complex character of the lysosomal system of proteolysis, wh ich depends on concentration and chemical nature of the toxicant, as w ell as on the fish species and developmental stage.
