Phytoplankton Species Composition, Distribution And Abundance In Kerian River Estuary, Malaysia

This study was conducted to characterize the health status of Kerian River estuary based on phytoplankton community and its implication to the river water quality. Five sampling stations were designated, and samples were collected from April 2008 to June 2009 during spring tide at low and high tide....
