description |
A study on physicochemical parameters and distribution of phytoplankton communities was carried out at Kuantan
estuary, Pahang, Malaysia. The study was carried out in September, 2011 and November, 2011 to determine
the spatial distribution of phytoplankton from three different stations during the pre-monsoon and monsoon
seasons. The phytoplankton and water quality were analyzed using standard method outlines by APHA, 1998.
The temperature recorded was between 27.29 oC to 29.33 oC, pH was from 6.96 to 8.24, conductivity range from
33.50mS/cm to 47.85mS/cm, dissolved oxygen ranged was from 4.25 mg/L to 5.84 mg/L, biochemical oxygen
demand was from 3.37 mg/L to 1.60 mg/L, salinity range from 21.01 ppt to 30.72 ppt, total dissolved solids range
from 21.80 g/L to 31.60 g/L and total suspended solids range from 0.024 to 0.044. The nitrite concentration
was range from 0.078 mg/L to 0.088 mg/L during monsoon while in the pre-monsoon seasons the range was
from 0.018 mg/L to 0.025 mg/L. Similarly, ammonium concentration was from 0.3056 mg/L to 0.0670 mg/L. The
phosphorus content was range from 0.0110 mg/L to 0.0897 mg/L. The pre-monsoon season phytoplankton (1466
Cells/L) was found to be higher than the monsoon season phytoplankton (644 Cells/L) |
