Abstract (Original Language): 
Heavy metals and their salts constitute a very important group of environmental pollutants since they are potent metabolic inhibitors. The inherent toxicity of a metal depends upon its capacity to disturb the dynamic life processes in biological system by combining with cell organelles, macromolecules and metabolites. Cadmium is considered as non-essential element. This study was performed to begin an assessment of effect of the heavy metal on biochemistry of blood serum because blood is a good patho –physiological indicator. Clarias batrachus responded to the cadmium and for duration of 30 days. Clarias shows a decrease in glucose and sodium while increase cholesterol, total protein, urea, creatinine and sodium values. After studying the result of present work it is clear that Cadmium very much affects the energy metabolism, which in long term cause the death of the individual organism and affects the whole community.
