The unusual metal status of the dugong Dugon dugon

Marine Biology, 1980
Using atomic absorption spectroscopy, exceptionally high concentrations of iron (778 to 82,363 μg g+1 dry weight) and zinc (219 to 4,183 μg g+1 dry weight) were detected in the livers of Dugong dugon (Muller) from north Queensland compared with reported values for other marine mammals from other areas of the world.

The dugong (Dugong dugon (Müller)) in the seagrass system

Aquaculture, 1977
Heinsohn, G.E., Wake, J., Marsh, H. and Spain, A.V., 1977. The dugong (Dugong dugon (Miiller)) in the seagrass system. Aquaculture, 12: 235-248. The distribution and ecological niche of the dugong are considered in relation to their effects on tropical seagrass ecosystems, Features of the chemical and calorific nature of seagrasses are contrasted to ...

Indigenous Use and Trade of Dugong (Dugong dugon) in Sabah, Malaysia

AMBIO: A Journal of the Human Environment, 2006
Dugongs (Dugongidae: Dugong dugon) are represented by relic populations separated by areas where they are close to extinction if they not already extinct. However, in 1999, the dugong was determined to still exist in Malaysian waters after a spate of dugong deaths was reported in waters near Johors, in peninsular Malaysia.

Dugongs' (Dugon Dugong) traditional values in Kenya; and their influence on their conservation.

American Journal of Environment Studies, 2021
Purpose: This study aimed to assess Dugongs' status distribution of dugongs (Dugong dugon) in Kenya. A dugong is a herbivorous marine mammal of the tropical and subtropical Indo-West Pacific and the Indian Ocean. Dugongs are one of four existing species of the order Sirenia, which is considered most at risk of extinction.

Osmoregulation and electrolyte balance in a fully marine mammal, the dugong (Dugong dugon)

Journal of Comparative Physiology B, 2020
Dugongs (Dugong dugon) are fully marine mammals that live independently of fresh water so must balance water and electrolytes in a hyperosmotic environment. To investigate osmoregulation, matched plasma and urine from 51 live wild dugongs were analysed for osmolality, major electrolytes (Na+, Cl-, K+), urea, creatinine, and glucose.

Age determination in the dugong, Dugong dugon (Müller)

Biological Conservation, 1976
Abstract Growth layers in the dentine of about 75 dugong, Dugong dugon (Muller), unworn permanent incisor teeth have been examined with a view to absolute age determination. Thirteen of these teeth come from complete skulls which had previously been allocated relative ages within three arbitrary life stage groups (Mitchell, 1973).

Bacterial Community Structure in the Hindgut of Wild and Captive Dugongs (Dugong dugon)

Aquatic Mammals, 2012
Dugongs (Dugong dugon) are marine mammals that obtain nutrients through hindgut fermentation of seagrass, however, the microbes responsible have not been identified. This study used dena-turing gradient gel electrophoresis (DGGE) and 454-pyrosequencing to profile hindgut bacterial communities in wild dugongs.

THE STATUS OF THE DUGONG (DUGONG DUGON MOLLER); KENYA, 1961

African Journal of Ecology, 1966
SummaryThe scarcity of dugong (Dugong dugon Miiller) throughout their former range and lack of knowledge of the species' ecology justifies this record of the opinions of the fishermen in the Lamu district of Kenya, where the species is still plentiful.The area and the programme of questioning are described.
