Pathology of Runting in Farmed Saltwater Crocodiles (Crocodylus porosus) in Australia [PDF]
Veterinary Pathology, 2014 Extremely poor growth of some individuals within a birth cohort (runting) is a significant problem in crocodile farming. We conducted a pathological investigation to determine if infectious disease is associated with runting in farmed saltwater crocodiles ( Crocodylus porosus) and to look for evidence of other etiologies.

INCORPORATING KNOWN SOURCES OF UNCERTAINTY TO DETERMINE PRECAUTIONARY HARVESTS OF SALTWATER CROCODILES [PDF]
Ecological Applications, 2006 It has been demonstrated repeatedly that the degree to which regulation operates and the magnitude of environmental variation in an exploited population will together dictate the type of sustainable harvest achievable. Yet typically, harvest models fail to incorporate uncertainty in the underlying dynamics of the target population by assuming a ...

Veterinary Record, EarlyView.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 ...
