First Atlantic satellite tracks of ‘lost years’ green turtles support the importance of the Sargasso Sea as a sea turtle nursery [PDF]

Proceedings of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences, 2021
In-water behaviour and long-term movements of oceanic-stage juvenile sea turtles are not well described or quantified. This is owing to technological or logistical limitations of tracking small, fast-growing animals across long distances and time periods within marine habitats.

Anesthesia in the green sea turtle, Chelonia mydas

American Journal of Veterinary Research, 1982
SUMMARY Surgical anesthesia for green sea turtles weighing between 6 and 195 kg was achieved with the injectable anesthetics sodium pentobarbital, ketamine hydrochloride, and sodium thiopental. Induction of, duration of, and recovery from anesthesia varied among individual turtles.

Oxygen transport in the green sea turtle

Journal of Comparative Physiology B, 1984
Green sea turtles (Chelonia mydas) are well known as endurance swimmers and divers. Physiological correlates of these traits were studied in 9 adult sea turtles (mean body mass=87 kg) at a body temperature of 25°C. The respiratory properties of the blood were similar to those of other turtles except for a higher oxygen affinity (P50=18.2 Torr, pH 7.6),

Purification of thyrotropin from the pituitaries of two turtles: The green sea turtle and the snapping turtle

General and Comparative Endocrinology, 1981
Abstract The purification of thyrotropin from the pituitaries of two species of turtles was followed using a bioassay based on the uptake of radioiodide by the thyroid of the baby slider turtle, Pseudemys scripta . Conventional chromatographic techniques which had previously resulted in the separation of pituitary gonadotropins were used initially ...

Mycotic Pneumonia in Mariculture-Reared Green Sea Turtles

Journal of the American Veterinary Medical Association, 1979
SUMMARY Microbiologic examination of 29 juvenile green sea turtles with a buoyancy abnormality revealed pulmonary infection with Sporotrichium sp, Cladosporium sp, and Paecilomyces sp. Histologic examination of the lungs revealed granulomatous lesions containing branching septate hyphae. The diagnosis was mycotic pneumonia.

Pulmonary function of the green sea turtle, Chelonia mydas

Journal of Applied Physiology, 1987
Lung volumes, oxygen uptake (VO2), end-tidal PO2, and PCO2, diffusing capacity of the lungs for CO (DLCO), pulmonary blood flow (QL) and respiratory frequency were measured in the green sea turtle (Chelonia mydas) (49–127 kg body wt). Mean lung volume (VL) determined from helium dilution was 57 ml/kg and physiological dead space volume (VD) was about ...

Corneal Fibropapillomatosis in Green Sea Turtles (Chelonia mydas) in Australia

Journal of Comparative Pathology, 2010
Chelonid corneal fibropapillomatosis has not previously been recorded in Australian waters. During 2008, 724 green sea turtles (Chelonia mydas) were examined in Queensland, Australia at two sites, Moreton Bay (n=155) and Shoalwater Bay (n=569), during annual monitoring. In the same calendar year, 63 turtles were submitted from various sites in southern

Further Studies of the Sea-Finding Mechanism in Green Turtle Hatchlings

Behaviour, 1974
Abstract Further studies were made of the simultaneous comparison mechanism used by hatchling green turtles, Chelonia mydas, in sea-finding behaviour. The aim was to learn if visual inputs from different directions, stimulating different parts of the retina, had the same effects on orientation. To do this goggles were designed that permitted

Characterization of myoglobins from Atlantic and Pacific green sea turtles

Comparative Biochemistry and Physiology Part B: Comparative Biochemistry, 1976
Abstract 1. 1. This paper presents information on the isolation, purification, and characterization of myoglobins from two sub-species of green sea turtles, Chelonia mydas mydas (Atlantic) and Chelonia mydas caranigra (Pacific). 2. 2.
