Abstract

Observations were made cm salinity, dissolved oxygen, pH, phosphate,
nitrate, nitrite and silicate of the inshore surface waters of the Madras coast, from
September 1967 to July 1970. The changes observed in salinity follow a pattern
without much variations from year to year. The surface layers are rich in dissolved
oxygen and the pH remains around 8.4 throughout. The fluctuations of
phosphate, nitrate and nitrite show almost similar trends and those of silicate
exhibit an inverse relationship to changes in salinity.
