Distribution, abundance and composition of zooplankton in the South China Sea, Area II: Sabah, Sarawak and Brunei Darussalam waters
The samples of 79 stations in Sarawak, Sabah and Brunei Darussalam waters were collected by M.V. SEAFDEC on 4 July - 9 August 1996 and on 25 April - 31 May 1997. Thirty-eight groups of zooplankton were found in this study. Copepoda dominated the zooplankton population, followed by Ostracoda and Chaetognatha in both periods. Biomass varies from 0.11-1.54 ml/m3 (average 0.44±0.25) and 0.09-1.76 ml/m3 (average 0.45±0.33) in July and May respectively. Abundance varies from 72-681 no/m3 (average 232±125) and 35-1,383 no/m3 (average 251±216) in July and May respectively. T-test shows no significant difference of biomass and abundance between July and May.
