Fish distribution and abundance in the Sungai Sepang Besar Estuary, Selangor: influence of water physicochemical parameters / Nurul Asyikin Ya and Harinder Rai Singh

This study reports on the abundance and distribution of seven fish species (Toxotes jaculatrix, Toxotes chatareus, Thryssa dussumieri, Plotosus lineatus, Photopectoralis bindus, Arius sagor and Stolephorus indicus) in relation to water physicochemical parameters (pH, dissolved oxygen, turbidity, sal...
