Effect of coastal development on larval fish abundance in Klang Strait (Malaysia)
Changes in larval fish assemblages were studied before (1985-86) and after (2013-2014) rapid coastal development in the Klang Strait, Malaysia, based on a Before-After-Control-Impact (BACI) experimental design. Fish larvae were sampled by bongo-nets along an 18-km transect from the impact station at...
