Using growth rates to estimate age of the sea turtle barnacle Chelonibia testudinaria
Sea turtles are known to host diverse communities of plants and invertebrate animals (Caine 1986; Kitsos et al. 2005; Robinson et al. 2017). Past analyses of the size, abundance, and/or species composition of the organisms present on an individual turtle have provided insight into the health (e.g. Flint et al. 2009), habitat use (e.g. Pfaller et al. 2014), and movement (e.g. Killingley and Lutc...
متن کاملVariation in spatial distribution of juvenile loggerhead turtles in the eastern Atlantic and western Mediterranean Sea
Loggerhead sea turtles (Caretta caretta) originating from the Western Atlantic carry out one of the largest marine migrations, reaching the eastern Atlantic and Mediterranean Sea. It has been proposed that this transatlantic journey is simply a consequence of drifting, with the lack of a target destination and a passive dispersal with oceanic currents. This predicts that the size of the source ...
متن کاملFirst Record of the American Alligator (Alligator mississippiensis) as a Host to the Sea Turtle Barnacle (Chelonibia testudinaria)
Chelonibia testudinaria (Sea Turtle Barnacle) and other closely related barnacle species of the genus Chelonibia are known to utilize a variety of organisms for their attachment substrate. These include the calcifi ed exoskeleton of marine crustaceans and chelicerids, the epidermis of manatees, and the carapace regions of all extant sea turtle species. Here, we present the fi rst records of an ...
متن کاملPopulation dynamics of the Metapenaeus monoceros (Fabricius, 1798) in North-eastern Mediterranean Sea
Monthly sampling of speckled shrimp was conducted by bottom trawl in the Iskenderun Bay between November 2009 and October 2010. There was a linear relationship between carapace length and total length in males and females (TL = -0.112 + 0.2294*CL R2 = 0.8298, n = 327) for males, (TL = -0.3918 + 0.2731 * CL R2 = 0.8919, n = 457) for females, and (TL = -0.378 + 0.2684 * CL R2=0.8492, n=784) for t...
