Transactions of the American Fisheries Society, 1976Abstract 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.

The presence of green sea turtle, Chelonia mydas, in the Adriatic Sea
Herpetological journal, 2004We 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.

Melatonin in the blood and cerebrospinal fluid of the green sea turtle (Chelonia mydas)
General and Comparative Endocrinology, 1980Abstract 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, 2001This 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 ...

Behavioral Response of Reef Fish and Green Sea Turtles to Midfrequency Sonar
2016There is growing concern over the potential effects of high-intensity sonar on wild fish populations and commercial fisheries. Acoustic telemetry was employed to measure the movements of free-ranging reef fish and sea turtles in Port Canaveral, FL, in response to routine submarine sonar testing.
