| description | 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
this area. Therefore, in order to evaluate the status of HAB in the east coast of Sabah, samples were
collected at several sampling sites during both South West monsoon and North East monsoon'
physical and chemical parameters were also recorded. Results showed that the causative organism
found in the west coast of Sabah was not present in the study area. However other potential HAB
species
such as Ceratium furca has been identified. Comparison between physicol and chemical
parameters between the east and west coast of Sabah showed signifficant differences in nutrients
concentration between the east and west coast of Sabah. The presence of potential HAB species
indicates that the east coast of Sabah may experience HAB problem in the future if factors triggering
the bloom are not well managed |
