Anthropogenic input of chemical pollutants into the marine environment has led to
substantial increases in the concentrations of naturally occurring trace metals. Related to …

Trace metals have been found in sea turtle blood and tissues and may represent a threat to
these endangered species. Essential trace metal (Cu, Zn Cd, Pb, As, and Hg) concentrations …

This study determined the concentrations of heavy metals in blood collected from Pacific
Ridley sea turtles (Lepidochelys olivacea) inhabiting the coast of Guasave, Mexico, in the …

Environmental pollution due to heavy metals is having an increased impact on marine
wildlife accentuated by anthropogenic changes in the planet including overfishing …

The concentration of heavy metals (Zn, Cd, Ni, Cu, Mn) and selenium (Se) was analyzed in
blood collected from 12 black turtles (Chelonia mydas agasiizzi) captured in Canal del …

Abstract Trace metals (Cd, Cu, Ni, and Zn) concentrations were assessed in the sea turtle
Lepidochelys olivacea from a nesting colony of Oaxaca, Mexico. Twenty-five female turtles …

Sea turtles tend to accumulate high metal levels in their tissues and are considered
excellent pollution bioindicators. Studies concerning metal contamination in hatchlings …

Abstract Silver (Ag), cadmium (Cd), copper (Cu), lead (Pb) and zinc (Zn) concentrations
were analyzed in tissues of juvenile green sea turtles (Chelonia mydas) found stranded …

Concentrations of eight metals and metalloids (Pb, Cd, Cu, Zn, Mn, Se, Ni and As) were
evaluated from 41 nesting females (blood) and 13 dead (tissues) Olive Ridley turtles …

Sea turtles can bioaccumulate heavy metals and trace elements over the years, therefore
they can be used as bioindicators of pollution in the marine environment. The aim of this …
