Abstract
The influences of environmental forces under different tidal and monsoonal settings on the variability of temperature and salinity, nutrient concentrations, and phytoplankton biomass (chlorophyll-a) in a shallow and narrow Setiu Lagoon were studied during the southwest monsoon, wet period of northeast monsoon, and dry period of northeast monsoon. Vertical profiles of temperature and salinity were measured at 10 stations. Water samples were collected at the surface layer of all stations for the determination of nutrient and chlorophyll-a concentrations.
