Water pollution due to chemical substances such as anionic detergents causes different disorders in aquatic animals. We studied the effects of anionic detergents on biochemical parameters of gold fish using 152 fish (18-20cm) which were divided into four groups. Group one was used as control and the other three were exposed to 5, 10 and 15 ppm of anionic detergents for 21 days respectively. Sampling of the fish serum was conducted on day 21 and the levels of urea, uric acid, creatinine, AST, ALT and phosphorous were determined. An ANOVA with multiple-range Duncan test were used for data analysis. Urea levels were significantly tower in test groups I and 2 and uric acid level was significantly higher in group 2 compared to those of the control (P<0.05). Creatinine level of group 3 and phosphorous level of groups 2 and 3 were significantly higher than those of the control (P<0.05). AST level significantly lower in group 2 compared to control (P<0.05). As for ALT level in groups 1, 2 and 3, tests showed a significantly lower lever compared to those of the control group (P<0.05).
