Scarring and photoidentification of dugongs (Dugong dugon) in Shark Bay, Western Australia.
Aquatic Mammals 21(3): 205-211. 2 figs.
–Photography of dugongs from a sailing catamaran documented variation in skin color, 9 types of scars (including some possibly due to sunburn, and parallel scars made by tusks of males), and repeated sightings of individuals in small coves over periods of 2-35 days. Irregularities in fluke shapes could also be observed in deeper water where dugongs dove more steeply.
