Abstract:
This study aims to measure photoyathetic rate, chlorophyll a and total
suspended solids in Setiu lagoon. Three samplings were conducted; ih October 2003
(non-northeast monsoon), 9th November 2003 (pre-northeast monsoon) and 3rd
December 2003 (northeast monsoon). Twelve sampling stations arourtd Setiu lagoon
were set for study. Northeast monsoon was fourtd to be the most important factor that
influent the water quality in Setiu lagoon. Base on the measured in the study area; low
level of net photosynthetic rate was recorded.
