Abstract: The bank of the river Brahmaputra and Barak are covered with myriads of fish prone derelict and semi derelict wetlands in the form of floodplain lakes or oxbow lakes locally known as beel. In Assam, beels constitute boundless and varied Fisheries resources covering an area of 1, 00,815 hectares. The basic understanding of the limnology, productive potentials and fish populations of beels is very essential for the sustainable development of beel fisheries in Assam. Therefore, a study was conducted on physico-chemical characteristics of Morakolong beel (47 no.), Morigaon district, Central Brahmaputra Valley Zone, Assam, during February, 2017 to January, 2018. Different parameters were taken in the study were Atmospheric and water temperature, water depth, Water turbidity, pH, Dissolved oxygen, Total alkalinity, Total hardness, Free carbon dioxide, Specific conductivity, Total dissolved solids, Nitrate-nitrogen and Phosphate-phosphorous. The results of the present study indicated that the water of the beel is productive.
