The objective of this study was to assess the ability of artificial aggregating substrates for fish and squid eggs attachment. This study was performed in an area adjacent to Bidong Island on the East Coast of Peninsular Malaysia. The aggregating devices were set up at three different water depths (6 m, 12 m and 18 m) in nine locations. The presence of fish eggs and squid eggs in attractors were collected every two weeks. Scuba diving was used to collect data in different water depths. This study revealed that no fish eggs were recorded on the attractors, but there was a presence of squid eggs in seven locations. In addition, the results also showed that environmental factors such as temperature, salinity, pH and dissolved oxygen (DO) not significantly affect the presence of squid eggs. However, the location and depth of the attractors from the water surface have a significant effect on squid egg attachment in atractor. © 2015, BIOFLUX SRL. All rights reserved
