Bio-monitoring of pollutants in long-lived animals such as sea turtles is an important tool in
ecotoxicology. We present the first report on metallic elements in sea turtle eggs from the …

The objective of the present study was to measure the concentration of contaminants in
blood of live green turtles captured in the Boyne River estuary near Gladstone, and to …

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 are considered of increasing interest as potential bioindicatorsfor pollution in
marine ecosystems. This chapter give an overview of the ecotoxicology of organic and …

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 …

Persistent organic pollutants (POPs) and heavy metals have been reported in a number of
green turtle (Chelonia mydas) populations worldwide. However, due to ethical …

Despite the current environmental concern regarding the risk posed by contamination in
marine ecosystems, the concentrations of pollutants in sea turtles have not been thoroughly …

Sea turtles are exposed to trace elements through water, sediment, and food. Exposure to
these elements has been shown to decrease immune function, impair growth, and decrease …

Trace metal concentration was analyzed from the blood of 106 critically endangered Kemp's
ridley sea turtles (Lepidochelys kempii), captured off the coast of Texas and Louisiana …

Sea turtles, with their global distribution and complex life cycle, often accumulate pollutants
such as metals and metalloids due to their extended lifespan and feeding habits. However …
