Five sampling stations were randomly chosen in the study area which consists of mangrove and estuarine area. Two type of fishing methods that been used were gill nets and cast nets. Thirty nine species of fish belonging to 37 genera and 30 families were recorded from the sampling sites. From the 490 individuals caught, the dominant fish species were Ambassidac and Leiognathidae comprising 32% and 20% respectively.
