The dugong is a herbivorous marine mammal and the only extant species of family Dugongidae. It has a large distribution range, which includes subtropical and tropical countries in world. In India, the mammal is distributed in the Andaman and Nicobar Islands, Gulf of Mannar and Palk Bay, Tamil Nadu and Gulf of Kachchh, Gujarat1-4. In Gujarat, the current population status of dugong is unknown and its sighting is rare. Here we report the presence of parasites in a dead dugong stranded at Mithapur (22°25'14.5"N, 68°59'34.8"E), Okha, Gujarat on 3 January 2013.Full Text
