The effect of untreated domestic sewage on primary productivity of the marine and tidal zones of the Vellar estuary was studied. This revealed the fact that among the two zones (marine and tidal) studied, the marine zone was found to be less resistant whereas the tidal zone was comparatively more resistant to raw sewage toxicity with reference to estuarine primary productivity.
