The effects of lead nitrate sublethal concentrations on the digestion of one-year carps is expressed in activity distribution of carbohydrases, which have different origination and take part in the processes of membrane and cavity hydrolyses. The concentration of lead in the water up to 0.2 mg/l causes stress state in the fishes, which continuas for three days, afterwards the state of adaptation comes. The lead in the concentration of 5 mg/l is a stressor for carbohydrases of membrane origination after first day of exposure, deformation of microvilla is occuring after eighth day of the exposure, also hydrolytical and transport processes are going worse but medial part remains resistant to the intoxication. Cavity digestion is inhibited.


Keywords: carp, lead, carbohydrases, digestion.
