Offshore Dispersal and Predation of Sea Turtle Hatchlings I: A Study of Hawksbill Turtles at Chagar Hutang Turtle Sanctuary, Malaysia

Ichthyology & Herpetology, 2021
Sea turtle hatchlings emerge from underground nests at night, rapidly crawling seaward to swim off shore. Once in the water, hatchlings might experience high predation rates while in shallow water before reaching deeper water where encounters with predators, and consequently mortality rates, likely decline.

Fifteen Years of Hawksbill Sea Turtle (Eretmochelys imbricata) Nesting in Northern Brazil

Chelonian Conservation and Biology, 2007
ABSTRACT We present long-term data for hawksbill (Eretmochelys imbricata) nesting in the 2 main rookeries in Brazil: 1) northern Bahia and Sergipe, where the estimated number of nests laid each year increased from 199 in the 1991–1992 nesting season to 1345 in the 2005–2006 season and 2) Rio Grande do Norte, where the estimated number of nests laid in ...

Tracking hawksbill sea turtles (Eretmochelys imbricata) during inter-nesting intervals around Barbados

Marine Biology, 2012
Hawksbill sea turtles (Eretmochelys imbricata) nesting in Barbados (Needham’s Point, 13° 04′ 41.33′′ N, 59° 36′ 32.69′′W) were outfitted with GPS dataloggers over three breeding seasons (2008–2010) to track movement during inter-nesting intervals. Most females established spatially restricted resident areas up current and within 7 km of the nesting ...

Pharmacokinetic characteristics of florfenicol in green sea turtles (Chelonia mydas) and hawksbill sea turtles (Eretmochelys imbricata) after intramuscular administration

Journal of Veterinary Pharmacology and Therapeutics
AbstractThe pharmacokinetics of florfenicol (FFC) in green sea and hawksbill sea turtles were evaluated following intramuscular (i.m.) administration at two different dosages of 20 or 30 mg/kg body weight (b.w.). This study (longitudinal design) used 5 green sea and 5 hawksbill sea turtles for the two dosages.

Plasma biochemical and PCV ranges for healthy, wild, immature hawksbill (Eretmochelys imbricata) sea turtles

Veterinary Record, 2014
In recent years, the use of blood chemistry as a diagnostic tool for sea turtles has been demonstrated, but much of its effectiveness relies on reference intervals. The first comprehensive blood chemistry values for healthy wild hawksbill (Eretmochelys imbricata) sea turtles are presented.

The survival situation of the Hawksbill Sea-turtle (Eretmochelys imbricata) in Madagascar

Biological Conservation, 1973
Abstract Hawksbill Sea-turtles once occurred in vast numbers around Madagascar but persistent intensive exploitation has led to a drastic reduction in their population. Traditional hunting methods, employing harpoon, net, and grapnel, are still in use, though Remora fishing is no longer widely practised.
