Assessment of the impact of Abiotic factors on the fish assemblages in a tropical estuary creek
Journal Title: Scientific Journal of Environmental Sciences - Year 2015, Vol 4, Issue 2
Abstract
Fish assemblage structures of Badagry creek, Nigeria in relation to abiotic (physical and chemical) variables were studied for 2 years period (November, 2011 – September, 2013). Environmental parameters were monitored in sampling stations randomly selected in each of the three zones established in the creek (3 stations per zone).
