Abstract: Crocodylus porosus is the most widely distributed crocodilian species and suffered widespread population decline during the 20th century, principally due to commercial hunting for their hides, but also from habitat destruction and persecution.
Populations of C. porosus in Western Australia are poorly studied and the number of animals taken during the hunting era is unknown.
Survivorship in C. porosus in unknown for most life-history stages so a mark-recapture study was implemented to investigate the dynamics of the C. porosus population in the King River.

 ePrintsUQ - Respiratory Properties of the Blood of Crocodylus Porosus
The blood of Crocodylus porosus has a high oxygen capacity (5.5 mmol 1^-1 at hematocrit = 28%).
The shape of the oxygen equilibrium curve of the blood is described by 'n' = 2.7 in the physiological range of P_CO2 and its oxygen affinity is described by the equation: log _10P_50 =0.4163 + 0.0200 T degrees C+ 0.3763 log_10P_CO2.
The significance of the blood respiratory properties is discussed in terms of the life style of C. porosus, particularly in relation to ectothermy and diving.
