Sublittoral macrobenthic community along the west coast of Sarawak

Species diversity, density, distribution and relationship of the macrobenthic communities with environmental parameters in west coast of Sarawak were investigated from 4th to 9th September 2009. Sampling was carried out at 3 transects of between 2 to 20m depth ; Kuala Santunong (S1,S2,S3), Lundu (S...
