Food of the Red Sea Dugong (Mammalia: Sirenia) from Sinai.
Israel Jour. Zool. 24: 81-98. 6 tabs. 1 fig. June 1976.
–Analyzes the stomach and intestinal contents of 6 dugongs from the northern Red Sea. Nearly all the contents were seagrasses, with some algal and animal material, probably ingested casually. Discusses the dugong's feeding habits and possible movements; concludes that dugongs eat whatever is available, but prefer delicate seagrasses.
