Evidence of hawksbill turtle (Eretmochelys imbricata) depredation on fish caught in gillnets
Frontiers in Marine Science, 2023 Bycatch is a major global threat to marine megafauna and occurs in nearly all fishing fleets, including small-scale fisheries that use gillnets. Gillnets represent a threat to endangered air-breathing megafauna, who incidentally entangle in bottom-set ...

Identification of Important Sea Turtle Areas (ITAs) for hawksbill turtles in the Arabian Region
Journal of Experimental Marine Biology and Ecology, 2014 AbstractWe present the first data on hawksbill turtle post-nesting migrations and behaviour in the Arabian region. Tracks from 90 post-nesting turtles (65 in the Gulf and 25 from Oman) revealed that hawksbills in the Arabian region may nest up to 6 times in a season with an average of 3 nests per turtle.

Increase in hawksbill sea turtle Eretmochelys imbricata nesting in Barbados, West Indies [PDF]
Endangered Species Research, 2007 Nesting by hawksbill sea turtles Eretmochelys imbricata in Barbados, West Indies, has been monitored since 1992. Data from the index beach indicate that the number of nests may have increased as much as 8-fold over this period. The estimated abundance of nesting females on Barba- dos is 1250, suggesting that this eastern Caribbean island now hosts one ...
