ABSTRACT

There were studied the effects of 14-day exposure of common carps to the water containing 0.2 mg/L Cu and 2 mg/L Zn on the composition of thermostable proteins and thiols in hepatopancreas of those fishes. It was found that copper is mainly distributed between non-protein components and the heavy fraction of thermostable proteins (TP). The content of zinc in TP was not changed under the conditions of the experiment.
