| Summary: | Kajian penentuan pemendapan “biofoulers” ke atas jenis dan keadaan persekitaran yang berlainan telah dijalankan di Pulau Betong, Pulau Pinang. Sebanyak enam organisma “biofoulers” telah direkodkan iaitu teritip, cacing tiub, benih tiram, bryozoa, siput dan landak laut. Pemendapan biojisim “biofoulers” yang tertinggi direkodkan di atas cengkerang tiram pada kedalaman 0.5 m dan 1.0 m di kedua-dua kawasan terteduh dan tidak terteduh. Kekeruhan air dan suhu didapati telah memberi kesan kepada pemendapan “biofoulers” di atas cengkerang tiram.
A study on the determination of biofoulers settlement on different types of substrates and environment conditions have been conducted at Pulau Betong, Penang. A total of six biofoulers have been recorded. The biofoulers consist of barnacles, tubeworms, oyster spat, bryozoans, snails and sea urchins. The highest biomass of biofoulers settlement on oyster shells were at 0.5 m and 1.0 m depths at both shaded and unshaded area. Water turbidity and temperature were found to be affecting the settlement of the biofoulers on the shells. |
