Lead and cadmium in fish, prawn, water and sediment of the Santubong Estuary

This is the project with my Master student, Adriana Christopher Lee (graduated). You can read the full paper from this DOI link: https://doi.org/10.54319/jjbs/140218. Why we chose this area as the study site? Santubong Estuary is located at the Bako-Buntal Bay, bordered by Gunung Santubong and Bako National Park, Malysia. It is an estuary with mangrove ecosystem. Mangroves are the most productive ecosystems due to their role as a nursery and breeding grounds for many fish species including the juvenile. Surrounding areas of Santubong Estuary have been rapidly growing as an industrial area (i.e. Demak Laut Industrial Park) and the industrial activities in this area may have produced heavy metal wastes.
