Diatom (Bacillariophyceae) to Dinoflagellate (Dinophyceae) Ratio as an Early Bioindicator of Eutrophication

A study was carried out to examine the ratio of diatom to dinoflagellate in two estuaries as sampling areas and its potential application as an early indicator for eutrophication. Water samples were collected from the estuaries of Samariang Batu and Santubong fortnightly for 10 samplings using Van d...
