Abstract
All the physico-chemical parameters [transparency, temperature, salini ty, dissolved oxygen and nutrients (nitrite, nitrate, phosphate and si licate)] showed well marked seasonal as well as spatial variations bei ng influenced by monsoon cycle and tidal rhythm. The estuary remained marine dominated during premonsoon (Feb.-June) season, whereas freshwa ter dominance prevailed during monsoon (July-Sept). A prominent vertic al salinity gradient was noticed during monsoon season.
