The diurnal Variation of some hydrographic properties in Tudor Creek Kenya.
Studies of the hydrographic properties in Tudor Creek, Kenya, shawed fluctations in most of the measured water parameters. The current was dominated by the tide in the early morning hours but modified by the wind for most of the afternoon. Jet-like flows occurred immediately after the night-ebb slack water. Fish were found to migrate into and out of the creek at night, just before and after the ebb slack water. The highest fish count corresponded to the jet-like flaw. Mild stratification was observed in the water column. Maximum values for most of the parameters occurred at about 3m depth, except for dissolved oxygen which showed a maximum at the surface and the bottom and two minima at 3m and 17m respectively.
