Sedation or anesthesia of hatchling leatherback sea turtles was employed to acquire
auditory evoked potential (AEP) measurements in air and in water to assess their hearing …

ABSTRACT A safe and effective technique for underwater anesthesia of green sea turtles
(Chelonia mydas) was developed to allow fully submerged in-water measurements of …

Much of the published research on the auditory ability of sea turtles centers on anatomy, and
from these anatomical studies, we hypothesize that the loggerhead sea turtle's (Caretta …

Sea turtles spend much of their life in aquatic environments, but critical portions of their life
cycle, such as nesting and hatching, occur in terrestrial environments, suggesting that it may …

The purpose of this study was to compare underwater behavioral and auditory evoked
potential (AEP) audiograms in a single captive adult loggerhead sea turtle (Caretta caretta) …

While some electrophysiological auditory studies have been conducted on sea turtles, little
is currently known about sea turtle hearing capabilities throughout ontogeny or how …

Sea turtles reside in different acoustic environments with each life history stage and may
have different hearing capacity throughout ontogeny. For this study, two independent yet …

Rapid, safe, and effective methods of anesthetic induction and recovery are needed for sea
turtles, especially in cases eligible for immediate release. This study demonstrates that …

Little is known of sea turtles' auditory behavior. Startles (neck contractions) were observed in
25 loggerheads (Caretta caretta) to tones from 35 to 1000 Hz, when the turtles were near the …

Ten nesting leatherback sea turtles on Trinidad were anaesthetised for electroretinogram
(erg) measurements, using ketamine and medetomidine, reversed with atipamezole. They …
