Distribution patterns of individually identifiable West Indian manatees (Trichechus manatus) in Florida Distribution patterns of individually identifiable West Indian manatees (Trichechus manatus) in Florida
Photographs of distinctively scarred manatees (Trichechus manatus) were taken at aggregation sites throughout Florida and assembled into a catalog for identifying individuals. Resightings of known manatees in different years or at different locations enabled us to document site fidelity and long-distance movements. Of the 891 individuals included in the catalog as of August 1986, 470 (53...
