Description Annual variation of primary production and chlorophyll-a of the inshore area ofTuticorin indicated
three peak periods. during March-April. June-July and September-October. The multipfe regression
analysis indicated significant levels of co-relation by chlorophyll-a and nitrates with primary production.
Among nutrients only nitrate and phosphate have influence on primary production while nitrite and silicate
have insignificant role. The usefulness of chlorophyll-a in relation to the primary production rates as a
measure of.the standing crop of phytoplankton and the role of nutrients in the organic production of the
inshore area of Tuticorin are also briefly discussed
