Fisheries sector plays an important role in the socio-economic development of the country by providing livelihood to large number of fishers or people engaged directly or indirectly to it. Besides being easily available and valuable source of animal protein, fish can easily be cultured in the aquatic environment. Since water is a an important resource that governs fish life, thus suitable water quality is the prime requirement for fish farming. It has been stated that "Water quality determines to a great extent the success or failure of a fish cultural operation" (Piper et al. 1982). There are many water quality parameters that affect fish culture. Optimum fish production can be achieved only when the required levels of the water quality parameters are effectively managed. The physical, chemical and biological characteristics of the water and their interactions play vital role in maintaining the health and well-being of their fish stock. This paper reviews a few physical and chemical parameters of water quality like temperature, pH, transparency, alkalinity, dissolved oxygen and various nutrients that are of importance to the Fisheries. These water quality parameters in culture fisheries provides adequate knowledge to manage our valuable fishery resources.
