A non-invasive method of microplastics pollution quantification in green sea turtle Chelonia mydas of the Mexican Caribbean

Marine Pollution Bulletin
Due to the amply exposure of marine turtles to marine plastic pollution, this is a reason that the green sea turtle Chelonia mydas makes a good candidate species as a bioindicator for plastic pollution. Turtle feces were collected at Isla Blanca on the northeast Caribbean coast of the Yucatan Peninsula, Mexico.

Predation on sea turtles by jaguars in the Mexican Caribbean

Copepod Assemblages From a Reef-Related Environment in the Mexican Caribbean Sea

Crustaceana, 1998
Results on copepod composition and abundance from samples obtained in a reef zone in the northern part of the Mexican Caribbean Sea are presented here. Samples were collected monthly from June to December 1991 at four stations, two of them in the reef lagoon and two at the fore-reef. Salinity and temperature were homogeneous at the four sampling sites.

Siphonophores of upwelling areas of the Campeche Bank and the Mexican Caribbean Sea

Hydrobiologia, 1991
The siphonophore fauna off the Yucatan Peninsula and in the Mexican Caribbean Sea remains practically unknown. This communication describes the composition, abundance and distribution of Siphonophora during summer 1984 and spring 1985. The local distribution and abundance of siphonophores were found to be strongly influenced by upwellings, especially ...
