A genetic linkage map for the saltwater crocodile (
BMC Genomics, 2009 Background Genome elucidation is now in high gear for many organisms, and whilst genetic maps have been developed for a broad array of species, surprisingly, no such maps exist for a crocodilian, or indeed any other non-avian member of the Class Reptilia.

Understanding the structure and blemishes of Australian farmed saltwater crocodile (Crocodylus porosus) leather [PDF]
Veterinary and Animal ScienceAustralian saltwater crocodiles (Crocodylus porosus) are farmed to harvest their belly skin to produce high quality leather products. This is the first descriptive study to explore the structure of leather across different finishes; incrust, matte and ...

Environmental resistance and habitat quality influence dispersal of the saltwater crocodile [PDF]
Molecular Ecology, 2021 AbstractLandscape genetics commonly focuses on the effects of environmental resistance on animal dispersal patterns, but there is an emerging focus on testing environmental effects on emigration and settlement choices. In this study, we used landscape genetics approaches to quantify dispersal patterns in the world's largest crocodilian, the saltwater ...

Behaviours of farmed saltwater crocodiles (Crocodylus porosus) housed individually or in groups [PDF]
Frontiers in Veterinary ScienceSaltwater crocodiles (Crocodylus porosus) are farmed in Australia primarily for their skins and meat. Commercially, they are raised in group pens as hatchlings and grower crocodiles and then moved to unitised (individual) pens for the final finishing ...

Implications of past and present genetic connectivity for management of the saltwater crocodile (Crocodylus porosus) [PDF]
Evolutionary Applications, 2023 Effective management of protected species requires information on appropriate evolutionary and geographic population boundaries and knowledge of how the physical environment and life‐history traits combine to shape the population structure and ...

Tissue tropism, pathology, and pathogenesis of West Nile virus infection in saltwater crocodile (Crocodylus porosus). [PDF]
PLoS Neglected Tropical DiseasesWest Nile virus (WNV) is one of the leading causes of economic losses to the saltwater crocodile farming industry due to skin lesions, known as "pix", induced by the infection.

Continuous Infraclavicular Block for Forearm Amputation After Being Bitten by a Saltwater Crocodile (Crocodylus Porosus): A Case Report [PDF]
Kaohsiung Journal of Medical Sciences, 2009 Two important issues after a complete right forearm amputation are replantation and ongoing pain management. There are no reports of successful forearm replantation as a consequence of a crocodile bite.

Radiographic evaluation of gastroliths in a group of 49 juvenile saltwater crocodiles (Crocodylus porosus) in the UK [PDF]
Veterinary Record, Volume 198, Issue 8, Page e343-e350, 18/25 April 2026.Abstract Background Gastrolith ingestion is a known inherent behaviour in crocodiles. However, the interpretation of coelomic radiographs in crocodilians is challenging due to the limited informative literature in this field. Methods Dorsoventral coelomic radiographs of 49 juvenile saltwater crocodiles (Crocodylus porosus) were acquired twice, with an ...

Translocation, genetic structure and homing ability confirm geographic barriers disrupt saltwater crocodile movement and dispersal. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2019 Translocated saltwater crocodiles (Crocodylus porosus) in the Northern Territory (NT) of Australia often return to their original capture sites, which complicates management interventions aimed at reducing human-crocodile conflict.
