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 trace elements (Hg, Cd, Pb, Zn, Cu, Fe, and Se) in different organs and
tissues (liver, kidney, muscle tissue, spleen, heart, lung, and fat tissue) of loggerhead 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 …

Heavy metal concentrations in the tissues of marine turtles are presented. The most
frequently monitored elements are mercury, cadmium and lead; and the tissues mainly …

The aim of the present study was to determine the concentrations of the most investigated
environmentally relevant heavy metals in two highly endangered sea turtle species (Caretta …

Several studies have been carried out concerning metal accumulation in sea turtles from
different areas of the world, such as Hawaii (Aguirre et al., 1994), Japan (Sakai et al., 2000a …

Marine turtles are considered good sentinel species for environmental assessment because
of their long lifespan, feeding ecology, habitat use and migratory nature. In the present study …

Concentrations of thirteen heavy metals in Loggerhead sea turtle eggs, collected from four
nesting beaches, were determined. Comparisons of mean heavy metal burdens in eggs …

Cadmium (Cd), copper (Cu), mercury (Hg), selenium (Se) and zinc (Zn) were determined in
the liver, kidney and muscle of 29 loggerhead turtles, Caretta caretta, from the South …

Non-essential toxic metals are environmental pollutants that contaminate the marine
ecosystem due to their extensive use and long-range transport (by rivers and air). Their …
