The identification and the effect of nutrients on the occurrence of harmful algal bloom (HAB) species in Kuantan port, east coast of peninsular Malaysia

ABSTRACT Phytoplankton plays an important role in the marine ecosystem. One of the significant contributions of phytoplankton is when the cell proliferate and form Harmful algal blooms (HABs). HABs have been reported in Malaysia more than a decade ago. The occurrence of HAB has increase in terms...
