| Summary: | The data available in this repository were gathered from Balok, the
only most productive spawning site for horseshoe crabs Tachypleus
gigas and Carcinoscorpius rotundicauda in East Coast of Peninsular
Malaysia. The mangrove horseshoe crab, C. rotundicauda population
and spawning data are available in the first table. The horseshoe
crabs were retrieved from Balok River using 11.43 cm mesh size gill
nets installed at the river mouth, the confluence and last meander.
The arthropods were inspected for damage, abnormality and growth
before their release into Balok River, particularly at the site of
capture. Sediment samples were retrieved at their spawning
grounds to ascertain sediment composition and size classifications
which were also processed using Logarithmic Method of Moments.
Water parameters like temperature, pH and salinity were also
investigated during year 2016. All these information are compiled |
