Spatial distribution of organic carbon contents of Langkawi island coastal waters, Malaysia

Spatial distribution of organic carbon contents of Langkawi island coastal waters, Malaysia

The distribution of total organic carbon content (TOC) in surface sediments of 5 zones in the area of Langkawi Island coastal waters were analysed by using wet oxidation dichromate method. A total of 51 samples were obtained using Ekman Grab from Kuah coastal area (Zone A), Cenang coastal area (Zone...
