Mapping of Aquatic Invasive Animals in Ca Mau Province
This study aims to enhance the discussion about the usefulness of invasive animals for biodiversity assessment in Mekong Delta provinces. Data were used for the area of 5.331 km2 in Ca Mau Province [1]. The data covered the period 2017 – 2018. To implement this evaluation, the analyses were based on...
