Abstract
Annual distribution of nutrients, salinity and dissolved oxygen variat ions in the coastal waters of Kalpakkam were studied for three years. Nutrient levels were more during NE monsson (OCt.-Jan). Phosphates and nitrites exhibited wide annual fluctuations compared to nitrates and silicates. Salinity and nutrients are in inverse relationship. Dissolv ed oxygen and nutrients showed positive correlation. Regression analys es between any two nutrients also showed positive correlation.
