Does anyone know of a disease/condition that affects bottlenose dolphins (tursips sp) where a "fleshy, seaweed-type growth" protrudes from the mouth?

I have run across a number of anecdotes of this growth affecting some Tursiops aduncus bottlenose in/around the Broadwater estuary on the Gold Coast, Australia, around 10-15 years ago (2000-2005)....
