Abstract The Olive Ridley marine turtle (Lepidochelys olivacea) is characterized by
individual morphological variability in the number and shape of scutes. The influence of …

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 …

The concentrations of cadmium (Cd), mercury (Hg) and lead (Pb) were determined in
muscular tissue of eleven loggerhead turtles (Caretta caretta) from the Balearic Islands …

The biomagnification and biodilution of inorganic pollutants, have a close correlation on the
structure and function of trophic change behavior; sea turtles represent an excellent …

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 …

This study reports the largest inorganic elements database in the blood of live marine turtles
(Lepidochelys olivacea), with 241 live as well as 38 dead nesting turtles sampled and …

Concentrations of heavy metals (Hg, Cd and Pb) were determined in internal organs and
nest contents of green turtles Chelonia mydas and loggerhead turtles Caretta caretta from …

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 …

Cadmium, lead, copper, and zinc were measured in tissues of 21 loggerhead turtles (Caretta
caretta) from the southwestern Mediterranean coastline. Mean concentrations (dry weight) of …

Metal and metalloid concentrations in the liver tissue of green turtles (Chelonia mydas)
stranded on the Brazilian coast (n= 506) were studied using inductively coupled plasma …
