Composition of Harpacticoida (Crustacea: Copepoda) and effect of rand reclamation activity in seagrass area of Sungai Pulai, Malaysia

Sungai Pulai is one of the largest areas for riverine mangroves which associated with other important ecosystem, the seagrass bed and mud flat located in the Tebrau Straits of Johor. The nearby areas experience rapid development activities including land reclamation. This study is carried out to inv...
