Dugongs of Shark Bay, Australia - seasonal migration, water temperature, and forage.
Natl. Geogr. Res. 2(4): 473-490. 3 tabs. 8 figs.
–Demonstrates that seasonal movements within the bay are controlled by temperature, and discusses the nutritional implications of the resultant shifting between a summer diet of Halodule and a less favorable winter diet of Amphibolis. Thermal tolerances of dugongs appeared similar to those of manatees.
