Potential of dynamic ocean management strategies for western Pacific leatherback sea turtle bycatch mitigation in New Zealand

Frontiers in Marine Science
Western Pacific leatherback sea turtles (Dermochelys coriacea) are a priority bycatch mitigation concern due to the projected extinction of the population before the end of the 21st century.

Vulnerability of the Critically Endangered leatherback turtle to fisheries bycatch in the eastern Pacific Ocean. I. A machine-learning species distribution model

Endangered Species Research
The Eastern Pacific population of leatherback turtles Dermochelys coriacea is Critically Endangered, with incidental capture in coastal and pelagic fisheries as one of the major causes. Given the population’s broad geographic range, status, and extensive

Energetics of the leatherback turtle, Dermochelys coriacea

, 2009
I have quantified the energy requirements of leatherback turtles (Dermochelys coriacea) throughout development, and examined growth rates, resource requirement and availability, and anthropogenic threats from the commercial fishery. I demonstrated that the use of the doubly labeled water (DLW) method to determine field metabolic rate in marine turtles ...
