The aim of the current study was to determine the characteristics of the stress response in endemic species Gmelinoides fasciatus (Stebb., 1899) in comparison with other Baikal amphipods under short term thermal stress. It were shown the changes in activity of antioxidant enzymes, and lactate dehydrogenase correlated with content of lactate under the influence of gradual temperature increase. While the changes of cellular stress - markers content or their activity in other Baikal species occurred beyond the thermal preference zone, the cellular stress - markers content or their activity in G. fasciatus associated with entrance into the thermal preference zone. Thus we concluded that the relict endemic species G. fasciatus has a different stress resistance mechanism to elevated temperature than other Baikal amphipods species.
