<![CDATA[Abstract Several activities in the Bakuok Lake contribute the input of organic and inorganic matters to the waters, and thus increase the concentration of nitrate and phosphate in the water. A research aims to understand the relationship between organic matter and nutrients (Nitrate and Phosphate) in the Bakuok Lake has been carried out in June-July 2019. There were three stations namely station 1 (around the plantation area), station 2 (in the middle of the lake) and station 3 (around the net cage area). Each station has 2 sampling points namely the surface and 2 Secchi depth. Sampling was done 3 times, once/week. Water quality parameters measured were biochemical oxygen demand, dissolved oxygen, free carbon dioxide, nitrate, phosphate, temperature, transparency, pH, and ammonia. The water quality value were as follows: biochemical oxygen demand 4.80-6.32 mg/L, dissolved oxygen 6.57-7.54 mg/L, carbon dioxide 9.37-13.86 mg/L, nitrate 0.0207-0.0319 mg/L, phosphate 0.0385-0.0553 mg/L, temperature 29.3-31.3oC, transparency 58-87 cm, pH 5, and ammonia 0.0132-0.0165 mg/L. The relationship between organic matter with nitrate and phospate was 0.96 or very strong.Keywords: Oxbow Lake, Nutrients, Water Quality]]>
