Comparative study of brackishwater species in Peninsular Malaysian

The importance of aquaculture as a means of supplying the predicted shortfall of fisheries and other aquatic products has been increasingly proposed. It would appear certain that the increased demands of growing populations must be met from aquaculture farms in which outputs can be increased from se...
