Construction of dams and river diversions can also leads to reduce the water runoff and its may directly effect on the salinity of the coastal waters. Due to disturbances monsoon periods, the lack of fresh water inflow to the deltaic reasons effects sediment influx and nutrient reasons of coastal habitats. The coastal fishing habitats increased substantially and now almost exceed income from target species. Over the same period, by catch (Which was traditionally discarded) has now become increasing marketable, being sold for local consumption, and as a fish meal to supply the reasons rapidly growing aquaculture and poultry industry. Fishery resources are finite and renewable. It placed under the sound management before over fishing has caused irreversible effects, the fisheries can be conserved and maintained so as to provide optimum yield continuing basis. In the present study 45 species belong 42 genera, 23 families and 7 orders. Among the orders perciformes is dominant.
