| 1983 | Manatee metabolism and its influence on distribution in Florida. Biol. Conserv. 25(4): 315-334. 1 tab. 4 figs. Apr. 1983. –The metabolic rates of 3 captive T. manatus were studied in relation to air and water temperature; rates were 15-22% of predicted values, and thermal conductances 117-229%. Body temperature averaged 36.4° C. Concludes that Florida is marginal habitat for manatees; 20° C is probably the minimum water temperature suitable for them. | ||
