Environmental Parameters And Razor Clam Fisheries In Asajaya, Kota Samarahan, Sarawak
This study was conducted to determine the environmental parameters and razor clam fisheries in Asajaya. Fourteen water quality parameters, namely temperature, pH, DO, salinity, transparency, turbidity, nitrate, nitrite, ammonia, silicate, orthophosphate, chlorophyll-a, TSS, and BOD5 were measured to...
