Saving the Hawksbill Turtle [PDF]
Oryx, 1973 The successful breeding of hawksbill turtles on experimental farms on islands in the Torres Strait, north of Australia, has persuaded the islanders to leave the turtle eggs (formerly taken for food) for the farms. The author argues the case for using eggs from the wild in these particular areas, and also urges the importance of allowing a turtle ...

Epibiotic bacteria on the carapace of hawksbill and green sea turtles
Biofouling, 2023 In this study, epibiotic bacteria on the carapace of sea turtles at three different sites in the Persian Gulf were studied. Bacterial density counted using a Scanning Electron Microscope showed that the highest (9.4 × 106 ± 0.8 × 106 cm−2) and lowest (5.3 × 106 ± 0.4 × 106 cm−2) average bacterial densities were found on the green and hawksbill sea ...

Somatic Growth Rates of Juvenile Green Sea Turtles (<i>Chelonia mydas</i>) in the Fijian Archipelago. [PDF]
Ecol EvolWe measured somatic growth rates of 215 juvenile green turtles across three foraging sites in the Fijian Archipelago from 2015 to 2022, finding a mean growth rate of 1.6 ± 0.1 cm year−1 that declined non‐monotonically with size and varied spatially between sites.

The developmental biogeography of hawksbill sea turtles in the North Pacific [PDF]
Ecology and Evolution, 2016 AbstractHigh seas oceanic ecosystems are considered important habitat for juvenile sea turtles, yet much remains cryptic about this important life‐history period. Recent progress on climate and fishery impacts in these so‐called lost years is promising, but the developmental biogeography of hawksbill sea turtles (Eretmochelys imbricata) has not been ...

Epibiont Assemblages on Nesting Hawksbill Turtles Show Site-Specificity in the Persian Gulf
Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2021 Sea turtle epibionts can provide insights into the hosts' habitat use. However, at present, there is a lack of information on sea turtle epibiont communities in many locations worldwide. Here, we describe the epibiont communities of 46 hawksbill turtles (
