A study was conducted on physico-chemical parameters of water in aquaculture shrimp pond located from Parangipettai, southeast coast of India. The study was aimed at assessing its suitability for shrimp production. Water samples were collected at fortnight intervals from the surface layer. Water parameters such as salinity, temperature, DO (dissolved oxygen), pH and transparency were analyzed at regular intervals. Water temperature was varied from 21to 28oC. Salinity range was 0ppt and gradually increased to 17 ppt by regular pumping of estuarine water for 3 hours. pH value was varied from 7.5 to 8.9. The dissolved oxygen level in water was ranged from 6 to8 ml/L. The transparency of shrimp pond was observed from 22 to 65 cm during the study period.
