Abstract
Methods have been evaluated and standardised to measure the phosphatase, saccharase, amylase and lipase enzymatic activities in aquatic environments. The analytical reproducibility, the ecological applicability and the etiology of these activities have been investigated. The usefulness of the various enzymatic assays for routine analyses and for fundamental research of aquatic environments is discussed.
