Dugong (Dugong dugon) and seagrass in Thailand: present status and future challenges
Dugong and seagrass research in Thailand has been principally conducted by Phuket Marine Biological Center (PMBC), Department of Marine and Coastal Resources (DMCR). The first stranded dugong was reported in 1979. The interview surveys with villagers and aerial surveys for dugong population were started in 1993 and 1997, respectively. Several research topics were documented on dugong, both the ...
متن کاملDetection of the Cryptosporidium parvum "human" genotype in a dugong (Dugong dugon).
The Cryptosporidium "human" genotype was identified in a paraffin-embedded tissue section from a dugong (Dugong dugon) by 2 independent laboratories. DNA sequencing and polymerase chain reaction/restriction fragment length polymorphism analysis of the 18S ribosomal RNA gene and the acetyl CoA synthethase gene clearly identified the genotype as that of the Cryptosporidium variant that infects hu...
متن کاملElemental classification of the tusks of dugong (Dugong dugong) by HH-XRF analysis and comparison with other species
The elemental composition was investigated and applied for identifying the sex and habitat of dugongs, in addition to distinguishing dugong tusks and teeth from other animal wildlife materials such as Asian elephant (Elephas maximus) tusks and tiger (Panthera tigris tigris) canine teeth. A total of 43 dugong tusks, 60 dugong teeth, 40 dolphin teeth, 1 whale tooth, 40 Asian elephant tusks and 20...
متن کاملPhysiological Response of Wild Dugongs (Dugong dugon) to Out-of-Water Sampling for Health Assessment
The dugong (Dugong dugon) is a vulnerable marine mammal with large populations living in urban Queensland waters. A mark-recapture program for wild dugongs has been ongoing in southern Queensland since 2001. This program has involved capture and in-water sampling of more than 700 dugongs where animals have been held at the water surface for 5 min to be gene-tagged, measured, and biopsied. In 20...
متن کاملDugong dugon feeding in tropical Australian seagrass meadows: implications for conservation planning
Dugongs (Dugong dugon) are listed as vulnerable to extinction due to rapid population reductions caused in part by loss of seagrass feeding meadows. Understanding dugong feeding behaviour in tropical Australia, where the majority of dugongs live, will assist conservation strategies. We examined whether feeding patterns in intertidal seagrass meadows in tropical north-eastern Australia were rela...
