Abstract:
A study on the diversity of marine nematodes was conducted at the intertidal area of western Sarawak, Malaysia. The main objective of this study was to identify the taxonomic composition of nematodes along the coastal area of western Sarawak. Marine nematodes were sampled while the physico-chemical and biological parameters of the water and sediment were recorded. Results obtained show that there are 26 genera of nematodes found in the sampled sites. The most abundant genera in the study area were Viscosia, Halalaimus, Daptonema and Anticoma. The density of nematodes was approximately 91- 285 individual / 10 cm2. The basic data recorded in this study could be used for future pollution monitoring of the benthic environment in western Sarawak.
