Beyond fishing: loggerhead turtle impalement by swordfish
Marine and Fishery Sciences, 2022 Sea turtles are susceptible to a wide range of impacts. In Brazil, the loggerhead turtle Caretta caretta (Linnaeus, 1758) is the main sea turtle species caught incidentally by longline fishing fleets that target the blue shark Prionace glauca (Linnaeus,

Physiological ramifications for loggerhead turtles captured in pelagic longlines [PDF]
Biology Letters, 2015 Bycatch of endangered loggerhead turtles in longline fisheries results in high rates of post-release mortality that may negatively impact populations. The factors contributing to post-release mortality have not been well studied, but traumatic injuries and physiological disturbances experienced as a result of capture are thought to play a role.

Magnet-induced disorientation in hatchling loggerhead sea turtles [PDF]
Journal of Experimental Biology, 2003 SUMMARYLaboratory experiments have indicated that hatchling loggerhead sea turtles(Caretta caretta) are able to establish and maintain courses using information from the Earth's magnetic field. In previous experiments, turtles were tested in relatively uniform magnetic fields generated by large coil systems surrounding an orientation arena.
