The brackish water fish farm in Buguma, Nigerian Institute for Oceanography and Marine Research/African Regional Aquaculture Centre (NIOMR/ARAC), is an example of tidal water between the farm and nearby stream, where tidal water flows into and out, enhancing continual water exchange. The water quality parameter expresses the composition of water as it is influenced by natural and anthropogenic activity in terms of measurable quantities. Knowledge of a water body's hydrological parameters aids in assessing its productivity as well as gaining a better knowledge of the fish community's population and life cycle. The results show that the pH, ammonia-nitrogen, nitrite-nitrogen, nitrate-nitrogen, alkalinity, carbon (iv) oxide, salinity, dissolved oxygen, and temperature ranges for 2011 were 6.5-7, 0-0.1 ppm, 0.25-0.25 ppm, 40-80 ppm, 5-10 ppm, 9-20 ppt; 3.8-6 ppm, and 26-31°C, respectively, while the For both years, there were no significant variations (p>0.05) in any of the parameters, and the observed values were within acceptable ranges for optimum aquaculture. When tolerated limits have been established, proper management of these factors will greatly aid fish productivity and increase research aimed at adapting fish species to this region of the Niger Delta.
