Abstract: In marine world, estuarine and coastal ecosystems are dynamic environment as these are the cradle grounds for phytoplankton growth because they receive constant supply of nutrients from rivers and other land based discharges [1]. In the nutrient stoichiometry, nitrogen (N) and phosphorous (P), commonly referred to limiting nutrients [2,3] promote the phytoplankton growth [4,5]. Besides the availability of nutrients, the physical factors such as flushing rate, salinity and turbidity also largely influence the distribution and abundance of plankton communities in the estuaries [6-8].
