The heavy metals are certainly stirring elements which have natural or anthropogenic sources. The high concentration of these heavy metals causes serious health issues. In this study the physical, chemical parameters, heavy metal concentration, oil & grease content were carried out in the surface water of the Chinnamuttom fishing harbour. According to the results the distribution of heavy metals is varied spatially and seasonally. The amount of Zn, and Cr is slightly higher when related with other trace metals. The oil and grease content are within the standard limit. Statistical study like Pearson Correlation analysis was executed for the data collected to know the association among the calculated parameters. The rank order distribution of trace heavy metals in relations of their typical concentration in fishing harbour water was detected as Zn>Fe>Cr>Cu>Pb>Cd. This may be due to the anthropogenic harbour activities.
