Zooplankton community structure of Sungai Lukut and its estuary, Negeri Sembilan / Siti Fairus Musa

The zooplankton community structure of Sungai Lukut, Negeri Sembilan was studied between February to April 2015. Sampling stations included the river mouth, middle reaches and upper reaches of the river. Sampling was conducted utilizing a tow net with a 140 µm-mesh and a ring bridle with a 30 cm mou...
