Abstract

Separate and combined effects of temperature and pH on activity of proteinases of intestinal mucosa and enteral microbiota were studied in several fish species. There were revealed peculiarities of temperature function of enzymes in microbiota of ichthyophages (a high level of relative activity in the whole range of their vital activity), which indicate the presence of victim-symbiotic adaptations in fish feeding in winter.
