Abstract
⺠Gill biomarkers were tested in fish catch in Portugal NW. ⺠The histological evaluation was indicative of some degree of stress. ⺠The quantitative evaluation of each gill injury revealed differences among species. ⺠There was an increase in antioxidant defenses in more contaminated sites. ⺠FEP, necrosis and GST activity contributed to discriminate the ecological status of the sampling sites.
