Comparison of environmental parameters and growth of green mussel (perna viridis) culture in Marudu Bay and Ambong Bay, Sabah, Malaysia
A study to compare the environmental parameters and growth of Asian green mussel (Perna viridis) was conducted at Marudu Bay and Ambong Bay for 12 months (September 2017-August 2018). Marudu Bay was the main study area and as comparison Ambong Bay was selected. Physicochemical parameters (DO, pH, sa...

Generally, the physicochemical, nutrient, sediment composition and heavy metal that was studied in Marudu bay was influenced by the monsoon especially NEM, where during this season, the rain was also found to be higher. The growth parameters (90 at each site) were found significantly correlated with physico-chemical parameters (dissolved oxygen, pH, salinity, temperature, water transparency, chlorophyll-a), nutrients (phosphate (PO4 3-), ammonia (NH3-N), nitrate (NO3-N) and nitrite (NO2-N), and condition index of green mussel from each study site, as well as between the study sites.
