Physico-chemical properties of surface sea water in associate to phytoplankton bloom in Kota Kinabalu waters
The study of physico-chemical properties of surface seawater in associate to phytoplankton bloom was conducted in Kota Kinabalu waters. Field sampling had been done six times from September 2007 to February 2008. There were 14 sampling stations that covers the waters in Sepanggar Bay (transect 1), U...
