Effects Of Structural Complexity On The Distribution Of Macrobenthos At Selected Artificial And Natural Shorelines In Penang Island, Malaysia

The aim of this research is to study the diversity of macrobenthos and relationship of structural complexity to these organisms. The study was done on the rocky shores of Penang Island. Thirty quadrats with dimension 15 cm x 15 cm were photographed monthly in six different sites with three sites eac...
