This study investigated selected trace elements toxicity in sea turtles Caretta caretta
population from Baja California Sur (BCS), Mexico, by analyzing associations among Zn, Se …

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

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 …

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 …

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 …

Sea turtles can bioaccumulate high concentrations of potentially toxic contaminants. To
better understand trace element effects on sea turtles' health, we established reference …

A large number of nesting loggerhead sea turtles (n= 201) were sampled to establish the
blood levels of 11 elements (Cu, Mn, Pb, Zn, Cd, Ni, Cr, As, Al, Hg, and Se). Almost all of the …

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 …

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 …

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 …
