Abstract
Optimization of assay conditions for serum alanine aminotransferase (ALAT, GPT) and aspartate aminotransferase (ASAT, GOT) are described for English sole, Parophrys vetulus. Although most conditions for measurement of these fish enzymes parallel conditions in mammals, the optimal pH is lower for both these enzymes. Liver represents a potentially large source of ASAT activity, potential sources for ALAT activity are liver and kidney. As in mammals, the use of these enzymes as indicators of fish liver and kidney dysfunction may be warranted.
