Investigation Of Some Physico-Chemical Properties Of Michael Okpara University Of Agriculture Fish Pond During Wet Season
ABSTRACT
A weekly study on the monthly physico-chemical
conditions of Michael Okpara University of Agriculture, Umudike fish pond was
conducted for a period of 4 months from June 2008 to September 2008. Variations
among the parameters were observed throughout the period of study. The maximum
water temperature was recorded in June (29.5C) and the minimum was recorded in
the month of August (23.4'C), the period of rains. The pond water was alkaline
throughout the study period. The pH was found to fluctuate between 7.0 (June)
and 9.0 (Sept.). Dissolved oxygen concentration pattern followed the
temperature pattern by being low in the rainy months because solubility of oxygen
in water varies with temperature. Mean Secchi disc value ranged from 20.5cm to
23.3cm, from August to September. These physicoChemical Parameters were
conducive for effective water productivity.
