In this study, six types of a filter containing silver nanoparticles containing 0.25, 0.5 and 1 percentage nanosilver with and without Aminopropyl triethoxysilane is used to control the <em>Saprolegnia</em> fungus in Persian sturgeon egg incubators. Two of six filters contain one percentage of silver nanoparticles could prevent <em>Saprolegnia</em> fungus completely as the optimal filter. The effects of these two types of optimized filters on embryos of Persian sturgeon kept in the incubator examined by studying the changes of some oxidative enzymes including glutathione peroxidase and lactate dehydrogenase and also by studying lactate changes by HNMR, in the second and fourth days of the incubation period. The results showed that the use of filters containing silver nanoparticles due to the release of silver from the filter into the water reduced glutathione peroxidase in both sampling days and reduced lactate and lactate dehydrogenase in second incubation day and increased them in the fourth day.  So measuring these enzymes is a good biomarker for early assessment of those intracellular changes in fish that are affected by such filters.
