Locomotion in hatchling leatherback turtles Dermochelys coriacea

Journal of Zoology, 1987
Hatchling leatherback turtles can only swim forwards, and employ synchronized beating of the forelimbs whether swimming slowly or quickly. The hind limbs make no contribution to propulsion. Effectively, the hatchlings have two swimming speeds; subsurface and fast (30 cm s‐1) or surfaced and slow (8 cm s‐1).

Migratory and reproductive movements of male leatherback turtles (Dermochelys coriacea)

Marine Biology, 2005
The biology of the endangered leatherback turtle (Dermochelys coriacea) at sea is poorly understood. As research has been almost exclusively limited to studies of nesting females, the movements of male turtles and the timing and location of mating activity have remained unknown. We report on the first deployments of satellite tags on male leatherbacks.

Salt and water regulation by the leatherback sea turtleDermochelys coriacea

Journal of Experimental Biology, 2002
SUMMARYWe measured the salt and water balance of hatchling leatherback sea turtles, Dermochelys coriacea, during their first few days of life to investigate how they maintain homeostasis under the osmoregulatory challenge of a highly desiccating terrestrial environment and then a hyperosmotic marine environment.
