An investigation on variation (temporal and spatial) in the contents of some selected inorganic nutrients (nitrite, nitrate, ammonium, phosphate silicate) was carried out lower Meghna river estuary, Bangladesh during September 2001 to May 2002 (covering an annual cycle). All studied showed irregular pattern temporal spatial fluctuations where most peak values premonsoon trough monsoon. A decreasing trend nutrient concentrations observed towards sea all seasons.
