Though marine science has been established much attention along the southeast coast of India in recent years, and fish (marine and estuaries) studies are still watch over by many researchers. The present research was carried out on marine and estuaries fish accessibility along the Velankanni coastal, Nagapattinam District to identify. A large collection of marine and estuaries fish was made along the coastal line of Velankanni, and totally 30 fish species belonging to 17 families and 11 orders of fishes were identified over a 3 months (March 2023 to May 2023) study period. Most of the species were commonly available in all the season along Velankanni coastal area. The present study revealed the occurrence of marine and estuaries fish species along the Velankanni coastal in Nagapattinam, Tamil Nadu in India.
