Decompression sickness (‘the bends’) in sea turtles [PDF]

Diseases of Aquatic Organisms, 2014
Decompression sickness (DCS), as clinically diagnosed by reversal of symptoms with recompression, has never been reported in aquatic breath-hold diving vertebrates despite the occurrence of tissue gas tensions sufficient for bubble formation and injury in terrestrial animals.
