The physiology, particularly enzymatic activities of marine fungi are little investigated and their role in the marine habitat is understood unsufficiently. This is due to difficulties with cultivation and determination of the enzymes to the fact that mostly not standardized methods are used. Current methods for determination of enzymatic activities in marine fungi are reviewed and the problems in cultivating marine fungi and determining their enzymatic activities are discussed. Twentytwo commonly used qualitative, semiquantitative and quantitative methods for the determination of 26 enzymatic activities of different metabolic pathways after cultivation in solid and liquid media are presented and the references given.
