Diversity of phytoplankton in coastal water of Kuantan,Pahang, Malaysia

A study on diversity of phytoplankton was carried out in the coastal water of Kuantan, Pahang, Malaysia. Eighteen samples of seawater were collected from six stations from September 2011 to March 2012. This study was aimed to identify phytoplankton, to determine the species abundance and diversity....
