Abstract:
A study characteristic of fish habitat was carried out in Setiu Wetland, Setiu,
Terengganu on September 2006, November 2006 and February 2007. This study
aims to determine the physical, biological and chemical characteristics in specific
habitat. For known the water quality parameters, the in-situ apparatus were used and
for fish sampling, the gills net were used. From result that have been got, there have
twelve species of fishes were found. Mainly then Leiognathus splendens (Kekek)
and Glossogobius aureus (Belukor) in studies area. Water quality is in suitable
range for fish habitat and aquaculture activities. The temperature ranged from
°
30.45
C to 32.6

current (0.01 ms-' to 0.155 ms-'). For while monsoon season, the temperature is
ranged from 29.45
