Roach with an average weight of 3.3 g and lengths of 4 cm were used in this work. Acclimatized fish were fed daily with a formulated feed.Caspian Roach were exposed to a low concentration of  10% LC50 and high concentration of 50% LC50 ofzinc for a period of  control (0), 24, 48 and 96h static toxicity examination, operated within the tank of 400L. In 10% LC50 concentration zinc (96h) immune parameters neutrophil, monocyte and lymphocyte are not shown significant change toward control group (P>0.05) and in 50% LC50 concentration zinc (96h), immune factors lym showed significant decrease toward control but neu factor significantly increase toward control group (P<0.05). Eosino and mono did not showed significant correlation with zinc exposure (P> 0.05). In low and high concentrations of zinc, results showed zinc can cause changes in hematological, biochemical and immunological factors in Caspian roach; therefore, assessment of these indicators, could be useful to detect pollution of aquatic ecosystems.}, keywords = {blood parameters,Caspian Roach,zinc,Toxicity,immune system}, url = {https://www.ijee.net/article_64652.html}, eprint = {https://www.ijee.net/article_64652_07f82dc96998c473cd319817105e496e.pdf} }
