Distribution of Mangrove Red Snapper Lutjanus argentimaculatus in response to hydrodynamic condition at the reef patches of Lankayan, Sugud Islands Marine Conservation Area, Sabah, Malaysia

The species Lutjanus argentimaculatus is a prized food-fish in the tropical and subtropical fisheries, as well as the aquaculture industry. This study investigated the distribution of L. argentimaculatus at three patch reefs of Lankayan Island, within the Sugud Islands Marine Conservation Area. Fish...
