Interannual Differences for Sea Turtles Bycatch in Spanish Longliners from Western Mediterranean Sea
The Scientific World Journal, 2014 Recent studies showed that regional abundance of loggerhead and leatherback turtles could oscillate interannually according to oceanographic and climatic conditions. The Western Mediterranean is an important fishing area for the Spanish drifting longline

The conservation of loggerhead turtles in Zakynthos, Greece [PDF]
Oryx, 1990 The population of loggerhead turtles Caretta caretta nesting on the island of Zakynthos, Greece, the largest known rookery in the Mediterranean, is in danger of dying out because of the effects of human interference. Tourism is a prime factor in causing problems, which include direct disturbance of nesting females, compaction of the sand and ...

Low incidence of twinning in the loggerhead sea turtle
Folia Zoologica, 2011 Twinning has been reported to be much rarer in sea turtles than in freshwater turtles. However, data from sea turtles were inferred from unhatched eggs only. We hypothesized that the difference in twinning events among turtle taxa resulted primarily from the methods used for recording data.

A native of the Gulf of Mexico and adjacent waters, it is so localized that few if any European museums possess specimens.

PROPOFOL ANESTHESIA IN LOGGERHEAD (CARETTA CARETTA) SEA TURTLES [PDF]
Journal of Wildlife Diseases, 2008 Rapid, safe, and effective methods of anesthetic induction and recovery are needed for sea turtles, especially in cases eligible for immediate release. This study demonstrates that intravenous propofol provides a rapid induction of anesthesia in loggerhead (Caretta caretta) sea turtles and results in rapid recovery, allowing safe return to water ...
