| 1985 | Tolerance of West Indian manatees to capture and handling. Biol. Conserv. 33(4): 335-349. 2 tabs. –Describes procedures used in capturing and handling Florida manatees, and reports that none of the 92 animals captured between 1975 and 1983 showed evidence of capture myopathy. Blood chemistry data are given for some of these and, by way of comparison, for captive manatees. Concludes that manatees, unlike dugongs, seem not to be susceptible to capture stress. | ||
