Photopic Spectral Sensitivity of Green and Loggerhead Sea Turtles

Copeia, 2004
Abstract Flicker electroretinography (ERG) was used to examine the in situ photopic (cone-photoreceptor based) spectral sensitivities of Green and Loggerhead Sea Turtles. Both species were responsive to wavelengths from 440–700 nm, and both had peak sensitivity in the long wavelength portion of the spectrum (∼580 nm).

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.

Behavioural studies on the green turtle (Chelonia mydas) in the sea

Animal Behaviour, 1972
Abstract Underwater observations of green turtles near Fairfax Island, Bunker Group, Australia, disclosed female behaviour patterns to avoid copulation, including a striking adpressed hind limb position; resting in a female sanctuary area; avoidance swimming; face-to-face confrontation, followed or accompanied by biting; and a ‘refusal’ position ...

CAPTIVE BREEDING OF THE GREEN SEA TURTLE (Chelonia mydas)

Proceedings of the annual meeting - World Mariculture Society, 1977
ABSTRACTCaptive breeding and nesting activity of the green sea turtle (Chelonia mydas) occurring at a commercial sea turtle farm in the Cayman Islands is described. Isolation of reproductively active pairs facilitates successful mounting among the captive breeding population.

The presence of green sea turtle, Chelonia mydas, in the Adriatic Sea

Herpetological journal, 2004
We collated and reviewed data on the green turtle in the Adriatic Sea from our own records, museum collections, and published literature. Results show overlap of records and cases of misidentification of large loggerheads as green turtles. Currently there have been twelve green turtles recorded in the Adriatic Sea.

Quantitative Requirements of the Hatchling Green Sea Turtle for Lysine, Tryptophan, and Methionine

Journal of Nutrition, 1977
The quantitative requirement for the amino acids lysine, tryptophan, and methionine was determined for the hatchling green sea turtle (Chelonia mydas). Hatchling green sea turtles were fed synthetic diets of purified substances with the composition of the diet varying in the amount of lysine, tryptophan or methionine present. The lysine requirement was

Melatonin in the blood and cerebrospinal fluid of the green sea turtle (Chelonia mydas)

General and Comparative Endocrinology, 1980
Abstract A melatonin radioimmunoassay was validated for the green sea turtle. A pronounced diurnal rhythm of melatonin content was evident in both serum and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF). In immature turtles, CSF melatonin levels paralleled those in serum but were always significantly lower.

Development of the pulmonary surfactant system in the green sea turtle, Chelonia mydas

Respiration Physiology, 2001
This study describes the developmental changes in pulmonary surfactant (PS) lipids throughout incubation in the sea turtle, Chelonia mydas. Total phospholipid (PL), disaturated phospholipid (DSP) and cholesterol (Chol) harvested from lung washings increased with advancing incubation, where secretion was maximal at pipping, coincident with the onset of ...

Conjunctivitis, tracheitis, and pneumonia associated with herpesvirus infection in green sea turtles

Journal of the American Veterinary Medical Association, 1986
SUMMARY Fourteen juvenile (15- to 20-month-old) green sea turtles (Chelonia mydas), representative of a group of sea turtles with clinical signs of respiratory tract disease, were euthanatized and submitted for necropsy. Macroscopically, lesions included periglottal necrosis, tracheitis with intraluminal caseous and laminated necrotic debris, and ...
