AMAZONIAN MANATEES (Trichechus inunguis) INHABITING AN EQUATORIAL METROPOLIS: HISTORICAL RECORDS AND MATING ACTIVITY NEAR BELÉM, NORTHERN BRAZIL
(2021-12-22) Emin-Lima, Renata; Costa, Alexandra Fernandes; Attademo, Fernanda Löffler Niemeyer; Hauser-Davis, Rachel Ann; Luna, Fábia de Oliveira; Siciliano, Salvatore
The West Indian manatee Trichechus manatus Linnaeus, 1758 and the Amazonian manatee T. inunguis (Natterer, 1883) occur in the Marajó Bay area and in the inlets and channels near Belém. The Amazon Aquatic Mammal Study Group (GEMAM) coordinates a collaborative network for trapped and rescued manatees along the coast of the state of Pará and in the interior of Belém. The presence of the Amazonian manatee is confirmed with the rescue and sightings in the great Belém area. The samples of these manatees are housed in collections of institutions such as MPEG and ICMBio, CMA. On October 31st 2021, Amazonian manatees were sighted swimming near a beach in the Mosqueiro district, in greater Belém. Residents and tourists took images that show a mating behavior reported in the literature for Trichechus spp. The waters in this area are turbid and these records are a significant opportunity to understand this behavior. The event may suggest that Amazonian manatees are returning to the Belém area and its surroundings, as well as to the east coast of the state of Pará, possibly due to the synergic effects of SARS-CoV-2, providing areas less disturbed by humans, pandemic and the current climate change scenario, which would be a hope for this endangered species.

Em 30 de janeiro de 2021, foi relatado o encalhe de golfi nho no município de Ipojuca, Pernambuco, Brasil. O chamado de resgate foi atendido pelos times da ONG Ecoassociados e do Instituto Chico Mendes de Conservação da Biodiversidade/Centro Nacional de Pesquisa e Conservação de Mamíferos Aquáticos. Este último como representante da Rede de Encalhes e Informações de Mamíferos Aquáticos do Nordeste do Brasil no estado de Pernambuco. O indivíduo já apresentava alto nível de estresse e espasmos musculares, entrou em choque e veio a óbito após cerca de 90 minutos. Durante análises e procedimentos de necrópsia, a equipe identifi cou que se tratava de uma fêmea adulta da espécie Stenella clymene. Não existia evidência de interação com embarcações ou com utensílios de pesca. Embora os órgãos do animal estivessem altamente parasitados, essa não foi a causa da morte. Alterações nos pulmões sugeriam pneumonia intersticial de origem infecciosa. Atualmente, esta espécie é classifi cada como ‘pouco preocupante’ pela IUCN e não está listada na Lista Nacional Ofi cial de Espé cies da Fauna Ameaç adas de Extinç ã o. Com isso, nosso estudo destaca a importância do monitoramento sistemático de mamíferos marinhos, das redes de encalhe e dos bancos de dados para a conservação das espécies. Ressaltamos também a necessidade de uma lista ofi cial da fauna ameaçada de extinção do Estado de Pernambuco, para assim gerar subsídio para ações locais e regionais. Desse modo, Planos Nacionais de conservação poderiam ser alcançados de forma mais direta, e as prioridades estratégicas para a conservação, proteção e manejo das espécies certamente poderiam ser desenvolvidas e aplicadas.

Genetic Connectivity of the West Indian Manatee in the Southern Range and Limited Evidence of Hybridization With Amazonian Manatees
(2021-01-06) Luna, Fábia de Oliveira; Beaver, Caitlin E.; Nourisson, Coralie; Bonde, Robert K.; Attademo, Fernanda L. N.; Miranda, Adriana Vieira; Torres-Florez, Juan Pablo; Sousa, Glaucia Pereira de; Passavante, José Zanon; Hunter, Margaret E.; Jeremy Kiszka
The Antillean subspecies of the West Indian manatee is classified as endangered by the International Union for the Conservation of Nature (IUCN) Red List. In Brazil, the manatee population is listed as endangered with an estimated population size of 500–1,000. Historic hunting, recent habitat degradation, and fisheries bycatch have decreased the population size. The Amazonian manatee is listed as vulnerable by the IUCN with unknown population sizes within Brazil. The Antillean manatee occurs in sympatry with the Amazonian manatee in Brazil and hybridization has been previously indicated. To provide information on the genetic structure, diversity, and degree of hybridization in the sympatric zone near the Amazon River mouth, the mitochondrial DNA control region and 13 nuclear microsatellite markers were assessed on the two species. Samples were analyzed from the Antillean subspecies across its distribution in Brazil (n = 78) and from the Amazonian species (n = 17) at the Amazon River mouth and inland mainstem river. To assess the previously defined evolutionary significant units of Antillean manatees in the area, an additional 11 samples from Venezuela and Guyana were included. The Antillean manatee was found to be a single population in Brazil and had lower than average number of alleles (3.00), expected heterozygosity (0.34), and haplotype diversity (0.15) when compared to many other manatee populations. The low values may be influenced by the small population size and extended pressures from anthropogenic threats. Gene flow was identified with Venezuela/Guyana in admixed Antillean Brazil samples, although the two populations were found to be moderately divergent. The nuclear loci in Venezuela/Guyana Antillean manatee samples indicated high differentiation from the samples collected in the Amazon River (FST = 0.35 and RST = 0.18, p = 0.0001). No indication of nuclear hybridization was found except for a single sample, “Poque” that had been identified previously. The distribution of Antillean manatees in Brazil is extensive and the areas with unique habitat and threats would benefit from independent management and conservation actions. Gene flow, resulting in genetic diversity and long-term population stability, could be improved in the southern range through habitat restoration, and the establishments of travel corridors and protected areas, which are particularly important for successful parturition and neonatal calf survival.

Infectious and Non-Infectious Diseases in Manatees in Brazil
(2020-01) Attademo, Fernanda Loffler Niemeyer; Oliveira, Radan Elvis Matias de; Sousa, Gláucia Pereira de; Luna, Fábia de Oliveira
Background: Antillean manatee (Trichechus manatus) and Amazonian manatee (Trichechus inunguis) are the two species of manatees that occur in Brazil, and both are endangered. Studies on manatee disease in Brazil were previously based mainly on Florida manatees. In recent years, these studies have increased in Brazil. Thus, the objective was to carry out a survey of the publications of infectious and non-infectious diseases in the two species of manatees that occur in the country, to assist in the identification of threats to the species and in the health assessment of manatees in the country. Review: Regarding infectious and contagious diseases, parasites have affected both species of manatees in Brazil, such as Pulmonicola cochleotrema in wild T. manatus, Toxoplasma gondii in both species, and Cryptosporidium spp. also in both species, this being an important agent of zoonotic character. Giardia sp., another zoonotic parasite, has also been reported in both species of manatees in Brazil. Mycotic lesions caused by B. hawaiiensis have been described in calves of T. manatus in captivity. Meanwhile, Candida sp., Trichosporon sp., Rhodotorula sp., and Cryptococcus sp. have been identified in T. inunguis. Studies on viruses in manatees are still not widespread compared to other species; however, it has been verified that rotavirus is present in T. manatus in captivity. In studies carried out to identify bacteria in T. manatus, the following bacteria were isolated: Arizona sp., Bacillus sp., Corynebacterium equi, Corynebacterium pseudodiphteriticum, Corinebacterium sp., Edwasiella tarda, Enterobacter aerogenes, Enterobacter agglomerans, Enterobacter sakasakii, Escherichia coli, Leptospira spp., Proteus sp., Proteus vulgaris, Providencia rettgeri, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Salmonella spp., Serratia marcescens, Staphylococcus sp., Staphylococcus aureus, Staphylococcus coagulase-negativa, Stenotrophomonas maltophilia, Streptococcus sp., and Streptococcus viridans. Regarding noninfectious diseases, food-related diseases stand out, where gastrointestinal complications in manatees and obesity in animals in captivity are among the highest occurrences. Intestinal tympanism was reported in a T. inunguis calf, causing death of the animal. Pollution and contamination have also been a concern for the health of these animals. In studies carried out with T. manatus in Paraíba state, accumulation of heavy metals in the animals was verified, possibly originating from sugarcane farms in the region. The ingestion of garbage has also been one of the greatest threats to the health of manatees, where it was registered as a possible cause of death of T. inunguis in Amazonas state. Regarding congenital diseases, although rare in manatees, two calves of T. manatus in Ceará state have been described as having congenital malformations in the heart and brain, without a well-defined etiology. Trauma has been affecting both species; in Brazil, 17.3% of manatees reintroduced by 2018 showed evidence of collisions with vessels. Hunting for T. inunguis still occurs frequently, which has been greatly reduced for T. manatus. Conclusion: Pathogens and other factors that affect manatees have a potential impact on both species. Some of the identified agents have a zoonotic potential and, therefore, are also public health issues. This survey demonstrates that the need for incentives for studies on health assessment and pathogens in these species, both in the wild and in captivity, should be encouraged.

Actions to rescue, rehabilitate and release calves of manatees are the main initiatives and strategies for conservation of the species in Brazil. The survival rate of animals in a natural environment and the reproductive success, identified by birth records, are some of the indicators used to estimate the release success for manatees. This study evaluated the effectiveness of releases of West Indian manatees based on the reproductive success of rescued animals that were released back into the wild in Brazil. Twenty-two female manatees were released in the states of Alagoas (into an extinct area) and Paraíba (into an existent population) from 1994–2020. Six females gave birth to 13 calves, all in Alagoas State. The average age of the first calving event was 11.7 (±1.49) years and 8.0 (±1.41) years after release. Among the females that had more than one calving, the average was 3.6 (±1.18) years between each calving. All calves observed were born alive; nevertheless, three (23.1%) died a few weeks after birth. In general, females rehabilitated in captivity and released in the wild were able to reproduce, especially in protected areas. This study emphasizes the need to intensify actions for the conservation of manatees and their habitats in order to achieve healthier wild populations.
