Fish, fisheries and land use at Sukau, lower Kinabatangan floodplain, Sabah

A total of 23600 ha of land area (10.28%) around Sukau have been cultivated by oil palm. The active large agriculture plantations have direct affects to the lower Kinabatangan River and aquatic habitats around Sukau. Only 18.1% of land area falls under Landsat TM undisturbed category. A total of...
