The aim of our experiments was to determine the activities of total superoxide dismutase (Tot SOD, EC 1.15.1.1), copper and zinc-containing superoxide dismutase (CuZn SOD), manganese-containing superoxide dismutase (Mn SOD), and catalase (CAT, EC 1.11.1.6) in the foot of three freshwater mussel species: Unio pictorum, Unio tumidus, and Sinanodonta woodiana. The first two species are native to Serbian freshwaters, but S. woodiana is an invasive species originating form Eastern Asia. The specimens (n=30, 10 of each freshwater mussel species) were collected from the river Sava, near Sabac (Serbia), during August, 2006.
