Contaminant concentrations in manatees (Trichechus manatus) in Florida.
Jour. Wildl. Manage. 48(3): 741-748. 1 tab. 1 fig.
–An earlier version of this paper was publ. in J.M. Packard (1983c: 133-158. 2 tabs. 2 figs.). Analyses of tissue samples from salvaged carcasses showed no excessive contamination by metals or organochlorines, except that unprecedentedly high copper concentrations were found in livers of manatees from Crystal River, where copper is heavily used in herbicides. These copper levels exceeded those reported for any other wild mammals, and were comparable to levels associated with toxic effects in domestic species.
