dc.description.abstract |
A study on the diversity of zooplankton in Teluk Kalong, Kemaman was
carried out nearby the entrance of the Kemaman Port. Lack of baseline data on the
distribution and diversity of zooplankton in Teluk Kalong, Kemaman was the reason
this study was carried out. Furthermore, diversity of zooplankton in an area may be
affected by the introduction of alien species through ballast water discharge, thus
leading to chosen study area which is Teluk Kalong, Kemaman due to Port
Kemaman which is located nearby this area. Samples were taken by towing Kitahara
Net with mouth diameter of 0.21m and mesh size of IOOμm vertically in each 15
randomly picked sampling stations where some stations are near the shore and some
are away from the shore. A total of 53 genuses identified from the samples collected.
The identification of possible alien species was carried out by referring to previously
made databases or researches. Meanwhile, the diverseness of species of zooplankton
shows ascending patterns as the station moved towards the open sea. |
