About
my research

I am studying spawning patterns on both the west and east coast of peninsular Malaysia and explore contrasting monsoonal influences on the spawning seasonality of selected Scleractinia. My aim is to uncover evidence of bi-annual spawning and explore spawning synchronicity under diverse environmental conditions. In addition, I’m planning in-situ experiments assessing the effect of moonlight as an ultimate cue for the spawning onset in specific nights.
