“…The first study on algae in Malaysia was conducted by Patrick (1948) and focused on freshwater diatoms from streams in North Malaysia. Subsequent studies included work on desmids ( Prowse 1957 ), Euglenophytes ( Prowse 1958 ), Chrysophytes ( Prowse 1960 ), Rhodophytes ( Kumano 1978 ), Bacillariophytes and Chlorophytes ( Anton 1990 ; Maznah et al 2000 ; Merican et al 2006 ). Cyanobacteria have only been recorded as the least common community component co-occurring with diatoms and green algae.…”

“…Cyanobacteria have only been recorded as the least common community component co-occurring with diatoms and green algae. Existing studies have generally only identified prominent cyanobacterial taxa to the genus level, with very limited taxonomic information provided ( Anton 1990 ; Maznah et al 2000 ; Merican et al 2006 ). In comparison, numerous studies have been conducted on lentic planktonic cyanobacteria communities in Malaysia ( Harith & Hasan 2007 , 2009 , 2011 ; Majit et al 2010 ; Florence 2011 ; Sinang et al 2015 ).…”

Despite the abundance of streams and rivers in Malaysia, the algal communities of these lotic ecosystems have remained largely unstudied. In a one-year floristic survey conducted from December 2014, 24 cyanobacterial morphospecies were identified for the first time from Tukun River, Penang Forest Reserve. Ten morphospecies were identified directly from field specimens while the remaining 14 morphospecies were identified only in cultures derived from the field samples. A total of 17 morphospecies; Leptolyngbya cf.

“…The decline in fisheries resources has become a huge issue that will be an effect to traditional fishermen and country. This is because over 60% of the main source of supply of fish comes from coastal fishing (Malaysian Fisheries Development Authority (MFDA), 2014; Maznah, 2013). In 2012 the number of fishing landings are 1.4 million tonnes with a value of RM 7857.85 million.…”

Purpose: This paper will examine the effects of artificial reefs on the income of fishermen in Kuala Kedah and Pulau Langkawi, Kedah. Design/methodology/approach: The method used was based on interviews with fishermen in Kuala Kedah and Pulau Langkawi in Kedah. Interview questions were prepared and carried out pilot tests in advance to see the appropriateness of the questions.The data obtained were analyzed using the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS). Findings: From the results of the study clearly shows that artificial reefs affects the income of fishermen. Artificial reefs not only increase the income, but the area also give the benefit to the tourist and divers. Research limitations/implications:This study involved the fisherman in Pulau Langkawi and Kuala Kedah, Kedah. Data wass collected randomly in two areas of this fishing village with total of 240 traditional fishermen. Practical implications: Implementation of artificial reefs to increase the income of fishermen and one of the ways to solve the problem of fisheries resources in the long term. Originality/value: The effectiveness of artificial reefs to the income of fishermen and others factor that influence the income of fishermen.
