Abstract

The distribution of silicate compounds and chlorophyll-a concentrations was determined at Setiu Wetland which is located in the southern part of the South China Sea Malaysia from July to October 2008. Parameter measured were dissolved inorganic silicate (DISi) dissolved organic silicate (DOSi) and particulate silicate(Psi). The concentration of DISi DOSi and Psi in the study area range from 101-529g/L Si 21-187 g/L Si and 114-502 g/L Si respectively with Psi being the most dominant form of silicate. In addition low concentrations of chlorophyll-a was recorded which ranged from 0.0002-0.0101 g/L. It is suggested that the main contribution of this nutrient originated from natural sources.
