(The authors discuss the timing of manatee illnesses which coincided with fish and double-crested cormorant (Phalacrocorax auritus ) mortality and morbidity probably due to bloom Gymnodinium breve.)

(The study examined the abundance and distribution of manatees in the Caloosahatchee River system in the winters prior to and during a temporary cessation of the heated effluent from the FP & E plant at Fort Myers. When heated effluends ceased, the manatees gathered in an area of deep water that cooled more slowly.)
