Abstract
Investigation on the physico-chemical factors at two different stations (I and II) in the Chippaleru estuary, Sri Potti Sreeramul Nellore District, which is lying along the East cost of India showed seasonal variations in all the parameters observed of the two stations studied, stationI recorded higher values of temperature, salinity, pH, and nutrients (PO4,NO2, NO3 and SiO2) and low dissolved oxygen, which indicates high pollution load, mainly due to the aquacultural activity at Chippaleru estuary.
