Observations on the dugong, Dugong dugon (Muller), in the Andaman and Nicobar Islands, India.
Jour. Bombay Nat. Hist. Soc. 96(2): 195-198. 2 tabs. 2 figs. Aug. 1999.
–Interview and boat surveys, 1994-97, suggested that an estimated 40 dugongs may survive around the islands. Harpooning is no longer regularly practiced; mortality (in fishing nets) is now often unintentional. Population decline is attributed to habitat loss; conservation measures are suggested. External measurements of a lactating female are given.
