The golden grey mullet Chelon auratus (Risso, 1810) (Mugilidae) is a valuable commercial and recreational species ranking first in terms of catch volume of the Black Sea indigenous mullets. The importance of this species in the regional fishery among demersal fish requires the development of a system for assessing its health status. Such research is based on an integrated approach involving biochemical and pathomorphological methods: these allow to investigate the alterations in fish prior the o
