- Phy-12: Plankton composition and potential of contaminating alien species via...
- Abstract
Colombo harbour is one of the key harbours in south Asia due to its strategic location in the main east-west shipping route. Therefore, Colombo port and adjacent marine environment is under risk of introducing alien species through the discharge of ballast water. When new species introduced to a particular location, existing composition will be altered. The present study was to investigate existing plankton species composition in Colombo harbour and adjacent marine environment and also to ...
