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”ppt”and lowest level 9”ppt”. The highest pH value of 7.7 occurred in January and lowest 5 in May. Simi larly, maximum ammonia level of 2mg/l was observed in May and consistently low levels(< 0.5mg/l) in the other months. We discussed the viability of tilapia aquaculture and suitability of Buguma creek for its culture.
