[Method] The activities of antioxidant enzymes superoxide dismutase （SOD）, catalase （CAT）, peroxidase （POD）, glutathione peroxidase （GPx）, as well as a non-enzymatic antioxidant malondialdehyde （MDA）, in the liver were measured 3, 7, 14 and 21 d post exposure （dpe） to 0.02 （1/100 of acute toxicity）, 0.036 （monitored concentration）, 0.08 （1/20 of acute toxicity）, 0.16 （1/10 of acute toxicity） and 0.32 mg/L （1/5 of acute toxicity） boscalid using a semi-static method. [Result] SOD, CAT, POD, GPx and MDA activity in the liver of zebrafish varied with boscalid concentration and exposure time. Boscalid significantly enhanced MDA content at 21 dpe. A significant upregulation of the activity of SOD, CAT, POD and GPx at 7 dpe was observed, suggesting that boscalid resulted in oxidative stress and lipid peroxidation. [Conclusion] These results show that these biomarkers are all appropriate for monitoring oxidative stress and the lipid peroxidation status of fish after exposure to boscalid.
