Abstract

In the present study area, the hydrobiological parameters were subjected to temporary variations. High atmospheric temperature, salinity impacts would have also increased the oxygen concentration in water. Indiscriminate use of fertilizers by the aquculturists might have contaminated the water with rich nutrients such as nitrates and phosphates which stimulate the growth of aquatic plants algae.
