Nizampatnam Bay is an embayment adjoins of the Krishna delta in its southern side covering an area of 1,825 km2. Physico-chemical changes may have tendency to accumulate in the various organs of estuarine fauna especially fish which may in turn enter into the human metabolism through consumption causing serious hazards. Hence the present study was carried out of determine the physico-chemical parameters of water collected from three different points on were during January 2013 to December, 2013 to determine its water quality using standard method. Selection of sampling points on the basis of three important of with respect of distance of Nizampatnam port. The physico-chemical parameters like Temperature, Turbidity, Dissolved Oxygen, pH, Salinity, Nitrates and Phosphates are observed in the Nizampatnam area. The results of present investigation showed that there was a significant seasonal variation. The temperature was found to be maximum in summer months and minimum during the winter months. The pH of the water found in an alkaline range in the summer months and the turbidity showed marked variation. DO, nitrates and phosphates were found the slight monthly variations. The present study indicates that the fluctuations of physico-chemical parameters in the coastal region influence the feeding, breeding, migration and other activities of aquatic organism.
