An Ecological Study of Free-living Marine Nematodes in Teluk Awar, Sarawak, Malaysia
The community structure of marine nematode assemblages in the southern-west of Borneo was investigated with special focus on the horizontal distribution from high tide to subtidal area. A transect study had been conducted in Teluk Awar. Nine stations were chosen from the Mean High Water Neap to Me...

| description | The community structure of marine nematode assemblages in the southern-west of Borneo was investigated with
special focus on the horizontal distribution from high tide to subtidal area. A transect study had been conducted in
Teluk Awar. Nine stations were chosen from the Mean High Water Neap to Mean Low Water Neap level. The
physico-chemical characteristic of water and sediments were determined both ex situ. One-way ANOVA showed
that the environmental variables among stations were significantly different (except chlorophyll a and total
organic matter). Multi-dimensional scaling demonstrated three distinct patterns among the stations while
dendrogram showed high dissimilarity percentage in the species distribution among stations. In conclusion, the
results showed that environmental variables such as clay, total organic matter and temperature were affecting the
nematode distribution pattern in Teluk Awar. |
