contents <p><span>The aim of this research was to analyze physiological and biochemical parameters in two fish species (Scardinius erythrophthalmus and Cyprinus carpio) taken in two different rivers of Kosovo. Fish samples were applying the electrofishing method (according to Hans Grassl GmbH) alongside Sitnica, Lepenci and Lumbardhi i Prizrenit rivers. The biochemical parameters: plasma glucose (GLU), total protein (TP), aspartate aminotransferase (AST) and alanine aminotransferase (ALT) were analyzed in the blood samples of 135 fishes of both species. The research results showed a significant increase in GLU concentration and a highly significant increase in the AST and ALT levels (P<0.05) while a significant decrease in TP concentration (P<0.05) observed in two fish species taken in the Sitnica river, compared with the fish species taken in the Lepenci and Lumbardhi i Prizrenit rivers. Due to their rapid reactions and great sensitivity to changes in the aquatic environment, fish continue to be key bioindicators that play a crucial role in monitoring pollution in the aquatic ecosystem. These findings highlight the needs to improve the dynamics and techniques of monitoring water pollution in the Sitnica, Lumbardhi i Prizrenit and Lepenci rivers as well as their biota, particularly fish as bioindicator organisms. </span></p>
