Serum biochemical parameters are important aspects in the management of endangered species such as Caspiomyzon wagneri. The objective of this survey was to determine some serum ionic and metabolic parameters and those relationships in 22 migratory population of Caspian lamprey in shirood river (a rive r located at the south of Caspian sea). There was no significant (P<0.05) difference between level of calcium (8.52 ± 2.9-9.14±0.97 mg/dL), magnesium (2.97±1.04-2.86±0.97 mg/dL), phosphorus (11.23±3.18-13.57±6.61 mg/dL), Iron (0.37±0.19-0.54±0.3 mg/dL), total protein (4.7±2.47-5.81±3.85 g/dL), glucose (93.98±22.89-104.10±32.38 mg/dL) and cholesterol (164.00±59.19-170.99 ±60.77 mg/dL) in male and females. The correlation between magnesium with calcium (P<0.05) and cholesterol (P<0.05) and glucose (P<0.01) was significant. There was a significant correlation between phosphorus and total protein (P<0.05). The correlation between cholesterol with glucose (P<0.01) was significant. But correlation between total protein with magnesium to phosphorus ratio and calcium to phosphorus ratio (P<0.05), was invert. According to influences of ionic and metabolic blood's serum on regulation of reproduction and growth in Caspian lamprey, can use from these results in management of reproduction and culture of this endangered species and our results can help to more understand lampreys physiology in starvation time compare to other higher vertebrates.
