Physical oceanography and plankton survey in the East Coast of Peninsular Malaysia

Abdul Hamid Yasin, . (1992) Physical oceanography and plankton survey in the East Coast of Peninsular Malaysia. [Proceedings Paper]

Twenty three oceanographic stations was set up in a demersal survey. Parameters of temperature salinity wind turbidity and depth were observed. The average depth of the study area was 50 meters. The average surface water temperature was 30.5 degrees C. The average salinity 32.8 ppt and the average wind velocity during the study was 5m/s. The average turbidity of the South China Sea during July and August was 17 meter. The study area was also divided into three portions. The northern portion in waters of Kelantan the middle portion in the waters of Terengganu and the southern portion in waters of Pahang. It was abserved that the average surface water temperature salinity and turbidity do not show any significant difference between the three portions of the South China Sea. Predominant plankton encountered in the area included Bacteriastrum sp. Chaetocerus sp. Navicula sp. Nitzschia sp. Rhizosolenia and Thalassiothix Ceratium sp. Trichodesmium sp. Copepod and larva

Abstract

Twenty three oceanographic stations was set up in a demersal survey. Parameters of temperature salinity wind turbidity and depth were observed. The average depth of the study area was 50 meters. The average surface water temperature was 30.5 degrees C. The average salinity 32.8 ppt and the average wind velocity during the study was 5m/s. The average turbidity of the South China Sea during July and August was 17 meter. The study area was also divided into three portions. The northern portion in waters of Kelantan the middle portion in the waters of Terengganu and the southern portion in waters of Pahang. It was abserved that the average surface water temperature salinity and turbidity do not show any significant difference between the three portions of the South China Sea. Predominant plankton encountered in the area included Bacteriastrum sp. Chaetocerus sp. Navicula sp. Nitzschia sp. Rhizosolenia and Thalassiothix Ceratium sp. Trichodesmium sp. Copepod and larva
