    The study examines the application of Geographic Information System and Remote Sensing to aquaculture and Fisheries Potentials of Shiroro Lake. By integrating physico-chemical parameters into Geographic Information System database. This also involved identifying and estimating potential areas of aquaculture development. To provide focus for the study. Five sampling sites (stations) were selected within the lake basin. Multispectral hand satellites image was used to detect suitable areas of the lake for aquaculture, and fishery production. The suitability raising was established based on physico-chemical data obtained from previous survey which identified station IV (River Dinya entering point) as the most suitable site for aquaculture followed by station I (Dam Crest) as suitable station V (River Munya entering point) moderately suitable while station II (River Kaduna entering point) and station IIl River Sarkin Pawa entering point) classified as unsuitable based on the scale of the ideal ranges of all the physico-chemical parameters
