Stomach content analysis of a dugong (Dugong dugon) from South Sulawesi, Indonesia.
Austral. Jour. Mar. Freshwater Res. 44(1): 229-233. 1 tab. 1 fig.
–Most of the stomach contents of a female dugong (71.5% of the total dry weight) consisted of roots and rhizomes of small seagrasses (Halophila, Halodule, Cymodocea), but the leaf fraction was dominated by Enhalus (50%). Rhizome material of large seagrasses (Enhalus, Thalassia) was absent; sediment was neglible.
