No study has been reported on carbonic anhydrase enzyme of the fish (Calcalburnus tarichi) living in the carbonated Van Lake. Having partial purification of Carbonic anhydrase from gill and liver of Van Lake fish by ethanol-chloroform and acetone-chloroform, the esterase activity was performed by using p-nitrophenyl acetate as a substrate on spectrophotometer. The effects of the some kinetic parameters (km, Vo, Vmax, Na2CO3 activation, optimum pH etc.) have been examined
