| 1981 | The dugong diet: mouth sample analysis. Bull. Mar. Sci. 31(3): 681-690. 5 tabs. 3 figs. –Reprinting of 1980? Analysis of mouth samples from 102 dugongs caught in Papua New Guinea showed the presence of 11 different seagrasses, plus small amounts of algae and mangroves. Frequency of occurrence and a "preference ratio" for each species are tabulated. Concludes that the mouth samples reflect local abundance, ecological distribution, and energetic value of the seagrass species in the catch area. | ||
