Effects of Water Quality of the Buguma Creek on Tilapia Culture

摘要

In this study, ecological parameters of water samples of the Buguma creek were evaluated. The parameters varied between high and low tide, with the maximum salinity level of 20%o and lowest level 9%o. The highest pH value of 7.7 occurred in January and lowest 5 in May. Similarly, maximum ammonia level of 2 mg L_1 was observed in May and consistently low levels (<0.5 mg L~(-1)) in the other months. The viability of Tilapia aquaculture and the suitability of the Buguma creek for the culture of Tilapiaare discussed here.
