Study On The Population Biology Of Soldier Catfish (Osteogeneiosus Militaris, Linnaeus 1758) In The Coastal Area Of Penang.

A study on population biology of marine catfish of the family Ariidae, Osteogeneiosus militaris was conducted from Pulau Betong in southwestern part of Penang. The study was conducted from February 2009 to August 2010. This study includes the biological aspects such as length-weight relationship (LW...
