Diet preferences of small fishes at Setiu Lagoon, Malaysia

This study aimed to investigate diet preferences of small fishes in a shallow coastal lagoon through analysis of their stomach contents.The 24 hours samplings was done during high tide at selected stations; mangrove areas and seagrass areas, both located at coastal lagoon of S...
