Digestive efficiencies of the West Indian manatee (Trichechus manatus).
Florida Scientist 47(3): 176-179. 2 tabs.
–In a captive adult female Florida manatee fed lettuce and water hyacinth, the consumption rate was low relative to body size but digestive efficiencies were high (about 80% for Eichhornia, 90% for lettuce), due to the low fiber content of the plants, the long passage time (about 6 days), and the long gut.
