Abstract
In Kerala, Kannur district is famous for
Mangrove ecosystems. This study aims to compare the physio chemical parameters
and fish diversity of Kavvai and Kunhimangalam Estuarine enclosed by mangrove
vegetation in Pre-monsoon and postmonsoon seasons. Fishes were collected from
fisherman. Water temparature, p H, Salinity, Dissolved oxygen were tested. In
diversity study 56 species of fishes belonging to 35 families were identified.
Number of fish species increased by postmonsoon in both regions. The
Physiochemical parameters exhibit influence on the fish diversity. The pH,
water temperature, salinity is negatively related with fish diversity and
Dissolved oxygen shows a positive correlation with fish diversity. The present
study shows the importance of Mangrove coastal Ecosystems in aquatic habitat.
