The occurrence of harmful algal bloom species in the east coast of Sabah, Malaysia

Harmful algal bloom (HAB) has been reported in the west coast of Sabah since 1976 and the occurrences have caused negative fficts to human health and loss to aquaculture industry' However, no HAB has been reported in the east coast of Sabah although the causative organism has been reported in...
