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.

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),

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 ...

Tuberculosis in Pacific Green Sea Turtles, Chelonia mydas

Transactions of the American Fisheries Society, 1976
Abstract Six cases of tuberculosis were found in captive Pacific green sea turtles, Chelonia mydas. The diagnoses were based on detection of gross lesions in lungs and livers, positive acid-fast bacilli in impression smears, characteristic lesions on microscopic examinations of tissues, and the isolation of the bacilli.

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

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.
