Studies of dugongs at Shark Bay, Western Australia. I. Analysis of population size, composition, dispersion and habitat use on the basis of aerial survey.
Austral. Wildl. Res. 9: 69-84. 6 tabs. 5 figs.
–Presents the results of aerial surveys in Shark Bay, principally on the east coast of Dirk Hartog Island. Estimates a population of at least 923 dugongs in the entire bay (including 10.3-12.6% calves); shows evidence of seasonal movements; and discusses dugong aggregations and their interactions with sharks.
