Censusing manatees: a report on the feasibility of using aerial surveys and mark and recapture techniques to conduct a population survey of the West Indian manatee.
Manatee Population Research Rept. (Gainesville, Fla., Florida Cooperative Fish & Wildlife Research Unit) No. 1: 1-18. 1 tab. 3 figs. Dec. 1982.
–Some copies have an early version of the cover & title page which incorrectly gives the author's name as Lee L. Eberhardt. See also Appendix 1.
  Recommends development of peduncle and other sorts of tags, and more extensive and sophisticated analysis of abundance data from warm-water refugia, in order to provide indices of population trends. These would serve as the basis for a census method, but an immediate state-wide census is not recommended. The population in Florida is assumed to be well in excess of the currently accepted figure of 1,000. Fig. 1 shows trends in counts at 6 refugia, 1977-81.
