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.

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 ...

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 ...
