Abstract: Fish were exposed to three different sublethal doses in order to determine the effects of Cypermethrin on some biochemical parameters (Ca-Calcium, P-Phosphorus, Na-Sodium and TP-Total Protein) of rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss). After 15 days exposure, Ca and P decreased, while TP and Na took various values depending on the doses of synthetic pyrethroid.

Keywords: Rainbow trout, Oncorhynchus mykiss, synthetic pyrethroid, calcium, phosphorus, sodium, total protein.
