Dugong distribution, the seagrass Halophila spinulosa, and thermal environment in winter in deeper waters of eastern Shark Bay, Western Australia.
Wildl. Res. 21(4): 381-388. 2 figs.
–Aerial surveys in winter 1992 confirmed that many Shark Bay dugongs use areas 9-15 m deep in northern Hopeless Reach, where water temperatures are within the range they prefer and where they feed on previously undiscovered beds of H. spinulosa (which they may prefer to Amphibolis antarctica).
