Distribution And Diversity Of Zooplankton As Bioindicator Of Water Quality Status In Air Itam Reservoir, Penang, Malaysia

Zooplankton composition and abundance, and water quality parameters were studied in Air Itam Reservoir from May 2006 to February 2007. This study investigates the community structure of zooplankton as indicators of water quality of the reservoir, which was constructed for domestic water supply. Zoop...
