Commercial feed acceptance of diets for Amazonian manatees (Trichechus inunguis) in captivity

Revista Brasileira de Higiene e Sanidade Animal, 2018
Keeping Amazonian manatees (Trichechus inunguis) in captivity is expensive and complex. Access to natural food is seasonal, and feeding manatees farmed plants is quite costly, requiring expensive logistics and planning. This study aimed to obtain alternative, good-quality feed to reduce feeding costs and decrease the risk of infectious and contagious ...

Behavior and habitat use of released rehabilitated Amazonian manatees in Peru [PDF]

Latin American Journal of Aquatic Mammals, 2018
The Amazonian manatee (Trichechus inunguis) is endangered due to illegal hunting. In Peru, the Centro de Rescate Amazónico (CREA) rehabilitates and releases rescued manatees. Tree females and two males were released in El Dorado Lake in July 2011 and radio tracked until November 2011. Movements, habitat use and behavior recorded during the post-release

American manatees adjust their diet composition and trophic niche breadth across different coastal regions

Limnology and Oceanography Letters, Volume 11, Issue 3, May 2026.
Abstract Marine mammals can exhibit high plasticity in foraging strategies, but how such plasticity is driven by environmental conditions is poorly understood. The American manatee (Trichechus manatus), a large, endangered herbivore, inhabits marine, estuarine, and freshwater environments.

Surveys of environmental DNA (eDNA): a new approach to estimate occurrence in Vulnerable manatee populations

Endangered Species Research, 2018
Environmental DNA (eDNA) detection is a technique used to non-invasively detect cryptic, low density, or logistically difficult-to-study species, such as imperiled manatees. For eDNA measurement, genetic material shed into the environment is concentrated
