Flexible inter-nesting behaviour of generalist olive ridley turtles in Australia

Journal of Experimental Marine Biology and Ecology, 2008
While olive ridley turtles (Lepidochelys olivacea) occur throughout tropical oceans their physiological ecology has been poorly documented. In May 2005, satellite-relayed data loggers (SRDLs) were attached during oviposition to four adult female olive ridley turtles on the Wessell Islands, northern Australia.

Biochemical Parameter Analysis of Rescued Olive Ridley Sea Turtles (Lepidochelys olivacea)

Indian Journal of Animal Research, 2020
Background: The olive ridley sea turtle also known as the Pacific ridley sea turtle is a medium-sized species of turtle found in warm and tropical waters, primarily in the Pacific and Indian Oceans. Sea Turtles are an integral part of coastal and marine ecosystems, they have also been fundamental to the culture of coastal societies for millennia.

First report of fibropapillomatosis in an olive ridley turtle Lepidochelys olivacea from the southeastern Pacific

Diseases of Aquatic Organisms, 2019
An adult olive ridley turtle Lepidochelys olivacea with lesions suggestive of fibropapillomatosis was rescued on the coast of San Antonio, central Chile. Histopathologic analysis showed an exophytic and pedunculated mass formed by epidermal papillary projections supported by fibrovascular cores, epidermal hyperplasia and marked orthokeratotic ...

Primary fibroblast cultures and karyotype analysis for the olive ridley sea turtle (Lepidochelys olivacea)

In Vitro Cellular & Developmental Biology - Animal, 2013
The number of sea turtles in the wild is decreasing because of human activities, such as fishery bycatch (Peckham et al. 2007), oil spills, and marine pollution (Witherington 2001). Furthermore, illegal hunting for their oil, meat, and shells are still continuing (Koch et al. 2013).

The olive ridley sea-turtle (Lepidochelys olivacea) in South-east Africa

Biological Conservation, 1972
Abstract Recent discoveries of the Olive Ridley Sea-turtle ( Lepidochelys olivacea ) in south-east Africa confirm some dubious old records and indicate that there are substantial populations of these sea-turtles off a limited portion of the east African coast and in the coastal waters of Madagascar.

An assessment of the olive ridley turtle (Lepidochelys olivacea) nesting population in Orissa, India

Biological Conservation, 2004
Olive ridley mass nesting events or ‘arribadas’ have been documented in Orissa, India since 1974.However, since standardised techniques have not been used to census turtles, actual population trends remain unknown.Herein, we summarise information on nesting populations in Orissa, using data from multiple sources to arrive at consensus estimates and to ...

Wildlife harvesting, conservation and poverty: the economics of olive ridley egg exploitation

Environmental Conservation, 2002
Eggs of the olive ridley marine turtle (Lepidochelys olivacea) have been harvested by generations of Pacific coast communities in Central America for both economic and nutritional reasons. There has been little economic analysis that has identified possible points of improvements for management of the resource.

DEPREDATION OF OLIVE RIDLEY AND LOGGERHEAD TURTLE CLUTCHES ON BEACHES WITH AND WITHOUT PREDATOR MANAGEMNT

2021
Management of predation on sea turtle nesting beaches is vital to conservation efforts for the vulnerable loggerhead turtles (Caretta caretta) and olive ridley turtles (Lepidochelys olivacea). Sea turtles increasingly face threats from invasive and human-tolerant mammalian predators as human disturbances on nesting beaches rises.

Risk assessment of heavy metals in the olive ridley sea turtle

2013
Sea turtles are endangered species as a result of centuries of overexploitation for meat, eggs and shells, incidental capture and habitat destruction. Moreover, several classes of anthropogenic pollutants discharged into the marine ecosystem could affect their survival.
