Abstract: This manual provides a detailed guide for dugong (Dugong dugon) carcass handling and necropsy procedures. It is intended to be used as a resource and training guide for anyone involved in dugong incidents, including management officers, biologists, parks and wildlife field staff, and veterinarians and pathologists who may lack dugong expertise. Because of the wide range of professionals this book is targeting, information and the use of technical terms is necessarily extensive. Section 8 provides definitions of various terms used and italicised throughout the text.
