| description | Macrobenthos animals are an architect of a variety of roles including as a part of the food web of aquatic ecosystem and improve the structure of the sediment and can determine the quality of the water. Macrobenthos communities have shown their potential role in biomonitoring to analyze contaminant loads due to high sensitivity to organic pollutants along the coastal water area. Besides, it is also used to determine heavy metals and petroleum hydrocarbons in coastal water due to their long sustainability with chemicals are primarily related with industrial calamities and occupational activities. Based on above perspectives, this systematic review has shown interesting findings about the macrobenthic diversity including community composition in the coastal areas of Malaysia. The study has focused on the diversity and abundance of macrobenthos communities along some potential coastal areas of Malaysia which emphasis on the states of Johor, Pulau Pinang, Selangor, Pahang, Terengganu, and Sarawak. Several studies have evidently revealed that pollutants and human activities have contributed to loss of macrobenthos towards abundance (individuals/m2) and species richness. The highest abundance of macrobenthos was Coleoptera sp. (1650 ind./m2 followed by Hemiptera sp. (860 ind./m2) were observed in Sarawak and Crustacea sp. (597 ind/m2) was found in Selangor, respectively. While Crustacea (10 ind/m2) was found as the lowest in the coastal water Pahang only. A major shortcoming among the studies was sampling time along with sampling method which was observed in this systematic review of different studies of macrobenthic assemblages in the coastal waters of Malaysia. However, the existing study reveals the baseline information on macrobenthic community which are still inadequate in Malaysia. Hence, a long-term monitoring for eco-biology and species diversity of macrobenthic assemblages are necessary for their sustainable development in this fascinating tropical coastal water of Malaysia. |
