Abstract

This study was conducted to study the biology, ecology and feeding habits of . 1iYopsis moluccensis in Sungai Bengoh and Sungai Turn and the effects of changes in the aquatic environment towards this species. . liropsis moluccensis shrimps were found living abundantly in shady, fast-flowing waters. The shrimps are omnivores and feeds on almost anything it filters through its setae. Twelve water quality parameters, namely TSS, TDS, BOD, COD, DO, pH, ammonia, orthophosphate, nitrates, conductivity, turbidity and temperature were used to determine the quality of the river water. River water was sampled at the two rivers for comparison purposes. Statistical analysis showed that orthophosphate, ammonia and total dissolved solids was not significantly different among stations. The culture of the organisms was unsuccessful due to factors such as salinity, temperature, water current and light exposure. The suitable salinity for culturing of this species remains unknown.
