Observations on the status and distribution of the West African manatee in Cameroon.
Afr. Jour. Ecol. 34(2): 189-195. 1 tab. 4 figs. June 1996.
–French summ. Presents results of a 1989 boat and interview survey, and concludes that manatee density is "high" in some areas. Hunting is not common except by Nigerians; Cameroonians variously claim fear of manatees, dislike of their meat, or lack of the proper equipment as reasons for not hunting them, rather than legal prohibition. Vegetation in areas of manatee abundance reportedly consists largely of emergent or overhanging rather than submerged plants (191).
