The diets contained 0, 50, 100, 150 and 200 mg/Kg zero-valent iron nanoparticles. The results showed that fish were fed by the diet supplemented with 150 mg/Kg zero-valent iron nanoparticles displayed significant difference in final weight, weight gain, final length, specific growth rate, body weight increase, average daily growth, feed efficiency, protein efficiency ratio and lipid efficiency ratio (P<0.05). The highest amount of liver index was in zero treatment (P<0.05). The highest amount of red blood cells, hemoglobin level and hematocrit percent was observed in 150mg/Kg treatment and the lowest was in zero treatment (P<0.05). The lowest number of WBC and MCV index was in 150 mg/Kg treatment (P<0.05); But there was no significant difference between treatments in the values of MCV, MCH, monocytes and eosinophils (P>0.05). Based on the results, due to the increased surface to volume ratio, 150 mg/Kg zero-valent iron nanoparticles in the diet has more influence than larger scales, it is recommended in the diet of common carp fingerlings.
