Description The impact of coastal pollution was studied
using edible oysters, Crassostrea rivularis as an indicator
at two sites viz., North Wandoor (NW) and Phoenix Jetty
(PJ) in Port Blair, Andaman. The hydrographic parameters
showed that nitrite, nitrate and phosphate concentration
were less and dissolved oxygen were more at NW compared
to PJ. The oysters were collected from the study sites
and biochemical, microbial, mineral profiles and ATPase
activities were estimated. ATPase activity was inhibited in
the gill tissue of oysters (p\0.05) of PJ sample. Total
microbial load in the water and oyster, and coliform bacteria
(MPN) in the water were significantly (p\0.05)
higher at PJ compared to the NW. There was no significant
difference (p[0.05) in the mineral profile of water collected
from both the sites. However, calcium and magnesium
were more in the oysters collected from NW
(p\0.05), and Cu, Zn and Cd were more in PJ samples
(p\0.05).
