Oxidative stability of oils, fats and fatty food products can be affected by many factors such as oxygen, light, heat, metal ions and enzymes used and finally it brings about oxidative corruption. This study has been done to survey the role of Dorema aucheri extract in oxidative stability of fish oil (under microwave heating) and comparising that with BHT synthetic antioxidant. Concentrations of 250 and 500 ppm extracts of Dorema auchri and BHT 200 ppm were added to fish oil and a fish oil sample without the addition of antioxidant was considered as control, Then they were sampled after putting in microwave at time periods 0, 3, 6, 9, and 12 minutes. Chemical oxidative indicators (peroxide, free fatty acids and thiobarbituric acid) were surveyed. According to the results, in all times putting in microwave the amount of peroxide, free fatty acids and thiobarbituric acid  in the treatments that contained extract, were lower than the control treatment, but were higher than the treatment that contained  BHT. A significant difference wasn^'t seen among the treatment that contained 250 ppm of extract and the treatment that contained BHT (p>0/05). According to the results, because of significant difference of samples contained extract with control sample and the lack of significant difference sample containd 250 ppm extract with BHT, it would be expected that Dorema aucheri  extract as antioxidant can be used  in food industry in maintenace of fish oil.
