Macrobenthic community at nesting grounds of horseshoe crabs (Tachypleus gigas and Carcinoscorpius rotundicauda) at Pahang Coast, Malaysia

Macrobenthos consists of the organisms that live at the bottom of the water column and are visible to the naked eye (usually >0.5mm in size) 2.About 80% of the benthic organisms are Epifauna that are living on or are attached to the surface of rocky areas or firm sediments play an important role...
