This can be due to the
fact that doctor fishes living in a water temperature of 34°C have a higher
metabolism, are more motile, and are more ready to the therapy. The CAT
activities and the MDA levels of the tissues studied were found to be
significantly different. The highest CAT activities and MDA levels were observed
in intestine tissues. But the CAT activities and the MDA levels of the tissues
studied for the fishes fed in 34°C water temperature were not significantly
different from those of fishes fed in </span> <span lang="en-us" style="line-height:115%;" xml:lang="en-us">18 </span> <span lang="en-us" style="line-height:115%;" xml:lang="en-us">°C water temperature. </span>     <br /> </p>}, number={1}, publisher={Süleyman Demirel University}
