Marine Phytoplankton Composition in Southern Coast of Sarawak
Southern coast of Sarawak is one of the Biodiversity hotspot in tropical zone. However, this area is affected by the coastal development and tourism activities in recent years. Phytoplankton is a group of microorganism which plays an important role in primary production and is baseline in food web....

Southern coast of Sarawak is one of the Biodiversity hotspot in tropical zone. However, this area is affected by the coastal development and tourism activities in recent years. Phytoplankton is a group of microorganism which plays an important role in primary production and is baseline in food
web. The composition is important to determine the quality and safety of the aquatic resources. In this study, we aim to study the phytoplankton composition at southern coast of Sarawak, including Sematan, Samunsam, Teluk Melano and Tanjung Datu. A total of eight phytoplankton samples
were collected at nine selected stations during the Tanjung Datu-Samumsam expedition in August, 2018. A total of 31 taxa were recorded including 21 taxa belong to diatom and 9 taxa belong to dinoflagellate in this study. The phytoplankton density was ranged from 604 cell L-1 to 2190 cell L-1.
