AB  - Some physico-chemical variables of Nigerian Institute for Oceanography and Marine Research (NIOMR), Brackish water fish farm, Buguma, Rivers State, Nigeria, were monitored bimonthly from April to October, 2005, covering the period of wet season in the region. The results obtained indicated that pH range for ponds was 6.06-6.78; salinity 9.01-15.25% and temperature 27.40-32.00°C. While the main channel pH range was 5.50-6.80; salinity 10-17% and temperature 28-31.4°C. Significant difference (p< 0.05) in salinity between main channel and ponds was observed for the month of April, while other parameters in other months (under investigation) were not significantly different.
