Abstract: The aim of the present study was to study the effect of different diets on proteolytic enzymes activity during early larval marble goby. The trypsin and chymotrypsin levels of the arvae fed on the various types of food using clear water were very low: 3.635-3.916UmgG tissue and 1.034-1.204UmgG tissue, while the trypsin 1 1 and chymotrypsin levels of the larvae fed with the same types food using green water were higher: 5.274-5.873UmgG tissue and 1.556-2.236 UmgG tissue. Among the treatments using green water, the highest trypsin 1 1 and chymotrypsin levels were observed in the larvae fed on live food (nauplii of copepods mixed auplii of rotifer). However, there were no significant difference of trypsin and chymotrypsin levels (p>0.05) among the larvae fed with different types of food using clear water group and those using green water group.
