In this study, treatment with five concentration, 0.07, 0.08, 0.1, 0.13 and 16.0 with three replications was conducted. Then based on the statistical program Probit version 16.0, LC1, LC10, LC30, LC50, LC70, LC90 and LC99 values were measured in 24, 48, 72 and 96 on the Vimba persa. The results showed that the LC50 96h of this poison was 0.08 mg/l and the maximum allowable concentration (MAC value) were measured 0.008 mg/l. Finally were classified diazinon to fish 50 grams of Vimba persa "high toxicity".
