| Summary: | A study on meiofaunal densites was carried out in Teluk Mengkabung, Sabah from August 1988 to January, 1989.
The meioJauna was sampled and several physico-chemical characteristics on the interstitial water was measured. The
density of meiofauna in Teluk Mengkabung, Sabah was between 292-1193 individuals 1()l cm-2. Nematodes was
the dominant taxon followed by harpacticoid copepods. The density of nematodes was between 238-996 individuals
1()f cm-2 and harpacticoid copefJod was 26-216 individuals 1()J cm-2. The meiofaunal densities of Teluk Mengkabung,
Sabah were found to be influenced by salinity, dissolved oxygen and porosity of the interstitial water. |
