<abstract xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"><p>The goal of the current study was to characterize developmental-induced changes of the metabolic and antioxidant responses in the skeletal muscles of the anadromous sea trout (<italic>Salmo trutta</italic> L.) from the Baltic Sea and its catchment area rivers. Activities of the metabolic enzymes, i.e., lactate dehydrogenase, succinate dehydrogenase, alanine and aspartate aminotransferases, their ratios representing aerobic, anaerobic, and amino acid metabolisms, the level of the metabolites (pyruvate and lactate), the activities of several key antioxidant enzymes (superoxide dismutase, catalase, glutathione peroxidase, and reductase), and a marker of lipid peroxidation (2-Thiobarbituric acid reactive substances, TBARS) were evaluated. The current study revealed the impact of the sex and different developmental stages of the sea trout (parr, smolts, spawners, adults, and kelts) on the effective formation of adaptive oxygen-dependent mechanisms.
