Abstract:
Green turtles (Chelonia mydas) that shuttle between their Brazilian feeding grounds and nesting beaches at Ascension Island in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean are a paradigmatic case of long-distance oceanic migrants. It has been suggested that they calculate their position and the direction of their target areas by using the inclination and intensity of the earth's magnetic field. To test this hypothesis, we tracked, by satellite, green turtles during their postnesting migration from Ascension Island to the Brazilian coast more than 2000 km away. Seven turtles were each fitted with six powerful static magnets attached in such a way as to produce variable artificial fields around the turtle that made reliance on a geomagnetic map impossible. The reconstructed courses were very similar to those of eight turtles without magnets that were tracked over the same period and in the previous year, and no differences between magnetically disrupted and untreated turtles were found as regards navigational performance and course straightness. These findings show that magnetic cues are not essential to turtles making the return trip to the Brazilian coast. The navigational mechanisms used by these turtles remain enigmatic.

Abstract:
Recent studies showed that regional abundance of loggerhead and leatherback turtles could oscillate interannually according to oceanographic and climatic conditions. The Western Mediterranean is an important fishing area for the Spanish drifting longline fleet, which mainly targets swordfish, bluefin tuna, and albacore. Due to the spatial overlapping in fishing activity and turtle distribution, there is an increasing sea turtle conservation concern. The main goal of this study is to analyse the interannual bycatch of loggerhead and leatherback turtles by the Spanish Mediterranean longline fishery and to test the relationship between the total turtle by-catch of this fishery and the North Atlantic Oscillation (NAO). During the 14 years covered in this study, the number of sea turtle bycatches was 3,940 loggerhead turtles and 8 leatherback turtles, 0.499 loggerhead turtles/1000 hooks and 0.001014 leatherback turtles/1000 hooks. In the case of the loggerhead turtle the positive phase of the NAO favours an increase of loggerhead turtles in the Western Mediterranean Sea. However, in the case of leatherback turtle the negative phase of the NAO favours the presence of leatherback turtle. This contraposition could be related to the different ecophysiological response of both species during their migration cycle.

Abstract:
The nesting demographics of sea turtles using beaches within the Barrow, Lowendal, Montebello (B-L-M) island complex on the North West Shelf of Western Australia were examined in the context of their spatial and temporal distribution and potential for exposure to industrially based artificial light sources. The distribution of overnight turtle tracks throughout the island complex confirmed high density nesting of Chelonia mydas (green turtles) on deep, sandy and high energy beaches and Natator depressus (flatback turtles) on deep, sandy and low energy beaches, while Eretmochelys imbricata (hawksbill turtle) tracks were most visible on shallow, sandy beaches adjacent to near shore coral reef habitat. The three species exhibited a summer nesting peak. Hawksbill turtles commenced nesting in September and continued through to January, green turtles commenced in November and decreased in March. Flatback turtles displayed the most constrained nesting season reported to date in Australia with 86% of the animals visits recorded in December and January only. Nesting population sizes estimated for the three species suggest that on a national scale the B-L-M complex is a moderately large green turtle and a large flatback rookery site. The hawksbill rookery is large on an international scale. While none of the green turtle nesting beaches fell within a 1.5 km radius of industrially based artificial light sources an estimated 42% of nesting flatback turtles and 12% of nesting hawksbill turtles were potentially exposed to these light sources. Testing of green turtle and hawksbill hatchling response to different wavelengths of light indicate that hatchlings from the B-L-M region respond to low wavelength much like hatchlings tested in North America (Witherington 1992a). Flatback hatchlings displayed a similar preference for low wavelength light however their responses to discrete light wavelengths between 400 nm and 700 nm suggest that this species may not discriminate well between wavelengths that lie between 450 nm and 550 nm. This response may be related to the rapid attenuation of visible light that occurs in the turbid near shore habitats favoured by this species. Field based arena studies carried out to investigate hatchling behaviour on nesting beaches with light types commonly used in industrial settings found green turtle and flatback hatchlings are significantly attracted to these lights compared to controls. Lights that emit strongly in the low wavelength range (i.e. metal halide and fluorescent) caused hatchling misorientation at lower intensities than the test light that emitted relatively poorly in this range (high pressure sodium vapour). Hawksbill hatchlings tested in situ under the influence of actual oil and gas onshore and offshore facility based lighting were disrupted from the most direct line to the ocean by these light emissions. Emergence fan mapping methods that measure hatchling orientation on nesting beaches were refined and are proposed as an alternative monitoring tool for use on beaches that are logistically difficult to access for large scale experimental orientation studies. The hatchling behaviour was clearly complicated by beach topography and moon phase. Satellite tracking of post nesting female green and hawksbill turtles from North West Shelf rookeries has identified the Western Australian location of migratory corridors and foraging grounds for these species while Scott Reef turtles migrate from their south Timor Sea rookery to Northern Territory waters. Green turtle nesting on Barrow Island and Sandy Island (Scott Reef) forage at feeding grounds 200 - 1000 km from their nesting beaches. Hawksbill turtles nesting at Varanus Island and Rosemary Islands forage at locations 50 - 450 km from their nesting beaches. While all of the nesting beaches within the B-L-M island complex are protected under the Barrow-Montebello Marine Conservation Reserves, the only foraging ground similarly protected is the Northern Territory foraging ground used by Scott Reef green turtles. None of the foraging grounds used by North West Shelf green or hawksbill turtles is currently protected by conservation reserves.

Abstract:
Some of the key elements to assess the status of any wildlife population in a given geographical area are the levels of recruitment, survival and mortality. Whilst most of the information on marine turtles has been obtained from nesting sites, turtles spend most of their lives at sea. The conservation status of marine turtles in the southeast Pacific is poorly documented. This is particularly true for countries like Peru, where nesting events are very rare, although five species of turtles from populations from all over the Pacific basin, use these waters as foraging grounds. Little information exists on the threats to turtle populations in foraging areas or the magnitude of these impacts. Small-scale fisheries are a globally important economic activity serving as a source of food and employment for ca. 1 billion people; however we show that they also have serious impacts on marine turtle populations from all over the Pacific basin in the form of incidentally captured marine turtles. The five chapters that constitute this thesis are intended to increase our understanding of small-scale fisheries impacts on this taxon during their aquatic life stages. This work focuses on describing these fisheries, their impacts on marine turtles and proposes methodologies to monitor and assess the level of bycatch from small-scale fisheries. We also discuss alternative ways to prevent fisheries interactions and promote the involvement of artisanal fishermen in the southeast Pacific in implementing conservation solutions.

Abstract:
Male loggerhead turtles (Caretta caretta) were observed in a shallow (< 2 m) lagoon. Preferred food sources were Mytilus galloprovincialis, Posidonia oceanica and discarded fish entrails. Foraging dives were of short duration, presumably because of the small lung volumes required to attain neutral buoyancy at shallow depths. In-water observations of juvenile hawksbill turtles (Eretmocheyls imbricata) were made. Curved carapace length was estimated to within 10 cm of actual size. Foraging grounds of adults and juveniles did not appear to overlap. Juvenile hawksbills alternated between short, shallow foraging dives and deeper, longer resting dives. Time depth recorders were attached to loggerhead turtles (n = 2). Dives to the seabed (< 20 m) accounted for 59% and 755 of the interesting interval. Benthic dives decreased markedly following or prior to a nesting event. This contrasted the predominance of open-water dives reported in Japan. Open-water resting may occur when turtles are travelling and, conservely, when little time is spent travelling turtles opt to remain predominantly on the seabed. Atypically deep v-dives were identified for loggerhead and green (chelonia mydas) turtles. These appeared pre-determined, within the physiological scope of the species and may allow direct bathymetric information to be gathered. Patterns of hatchling emergence were documented and related to in-nest thermal conditions. Variation existed between and within individual nests. Hatchlings from nests displaying large thermal range emerged over a longer time-scale than those with more uniform temperatures. Incubation during data were used as a proxy of sex ratios. Variation existed within and between nesting seasons with 'atypical' seasons characterised by predominantly male production. Egg failure and neonate mortality were investigated in loggerhead clutches. First clutches were more likely to contain a higher proportion of eggs displaying no gross signs of development. Possible factors underpinning this are explored as are its implications at population level.

Abstract:
1.  This study was performed to investigate a mechanism of heat exchange in sea turtles and how temperature and different acclimation time affects their metabolic rates.  In another part of this thesis I aimed to test the possibility of a correlation between dive duration and both metabolic rate and state of buoyancy known to be regulated via the gas volume in the lungs of Chelonian sea turtles. 2.  All experiments were conducted on captive loggerhead (Caretta caretta) and green turtles (Chelonia mydas) housed in a individual tanks with circulating seawater from the adjacent Gulf of Naples (Western Mediterranean). The total range of body masses of turtles used encompassed 2 to 60 kg. 3.  It was demonstrated, using Doppler ultrasound, that sea turtles change blood flow in their appendages in response to external cooling and heating. Although this was efficient to accelerate whole body warming and delay the cooling of the body, turtles eventually equilibrated their body temperatures with that of the surrounding water. 4.  The Q10 effect on metabolic rate of sea turtles subject to acute exposure to varying temperatures was 1.3. However, during long term exposure to seasonally decreasing water temperatures turtles showed a more pronounced reducted of metabolic rate (O10 = 5.4). Contemporaneously food intake and general activity were greatly reduced as well and dive durations increased.  Body temperatures showed the same seasonal trend as the decreasing water temperatures. 5. Oxygen consumption rates of individual turtles, measured over 24-h-periods, peaked at different times of the day and no specific dynamic action after feeding could be detected.

Abstract:
Resource subsidies are flows of nutrients from one ecosystem to another. Sandy beach ecosystems are at the interface between land and sea and thus receive nutrients from both land/seascapes. The seasonal nesting of sea turtles introduces large inputs of eggs, and so nutrients, onto sandy beach ecosystems, but little is known about the effects of these spatially and temporally variable nutrient input pulses on the dynamics of consumers in the recipient system. In this study, I examined the ecological role of sea turtles as vectors of nutrients that introduce large amounts of nutrients (in the form of eggs) from distant foraging grounds into nutrient-poor beach ecosystems. Although some of the nutrients return to the sea in the form of hatchlings, nutrients from unhatched and depredated eggs, dead and predated hatchlings, as well as chorioallantoic fluid and egg shells remain on the beach and presumably enter sandy beach food webs. I hypothesized that turtle nutrients significantly increase the availability of nutrients to sandy beach ecosystems and that those nutrients are incorporated by both terrestrial and marine food webs. These hypotheses were tested by comparing isotopic signatures of 13C and 15N of consumers on beaches with high and low turtle nest densities. The response of meiofauna to the decomposition of turtle eggs was also investigated. I predicted that meiofaunal abundance is positively affected by turtle nutrients and that higher meiofaunal abundances will be obtained in decomposing, depredated nests. I tested this hypothesis by comparing meiofaunal abundance in naturally predated nests to densities away from turtle nests (as a control). An in situ experiment that mimics conditions of naturally predated sea turtle nest, was set up to test meiofaunal community responses to turtle nutrients over time. The study indicates that sea turtle eggs represent a short pulsed resource subsidy that increases the nutrient and energy budget of sandy beach ecosystems. The results show that of the five potential nutrient pathways tested, ghost crabs appear to consume egg nutrients in measurable quantities, altering their diet and feeding behaviour according to food availability. The study also showed that there was a strong, but short-lived positive response of meiofauna to the introduction of nutrients, with increased abundance of all taxa in predated nests and experimental treatments. This response was particularly strong for nematodes which peaked in abundance after seven days. I conclude that turtle-derived nutrients represent a pulsed resource subsidy that makes significant contribution to the energy budget of sandy beach/dune ecosystems.

Abstract:
Abstract Satellite-linked platform terminal transmitters (PTTs) are important tools for conducting research of sea turtles in their marine habitats. Appropriate conservation actions can be identified using PTTs, mounted to the top of sea turtles’ shells, to collect information about migratory routes and habitat usage. However, there is concern that PTTs introduce hydrodynamic drag that may bias natural sea turtle behavior, making the migratory and habitat data inaccurate representations of the “untagged” population. PTTs also have limited attachment durations, hypothesized to be caused by hydrodynamic loading and shell expansion during growth. The aim of this research is to investigate the hydrodynamic drag induced by PTTs on juvenile hard-shelled sea turtles, with the broader goal of increasing deployment duration and minimizing behavioral effects. A computational fluid dynamics (CFD) model was created to simulate the hydrodynamics of juvenile sea turtles. The drag and lift coefficients for five PTTs, virtually attached to the sea turtle model, were calculated using numerical methods. A comparison table of PTT performance is presented. The results will be used to explore PTT form factor design trades-offs that reduce hydrodynamic loading, while still meeting operational requirements. This research could enable biologists to collect data that more accurately represents the untagged sea turtle population.

Abstract:
Satellite-linked platform terminal transmitters (PTTs) enable biologists to study movements of sea turtles. However, PTTs often fail due to limited battery life, antenna breakage, biofouling, saltwater switch failure, and premature tag detachment. Also, PTTs induce hydrodynamic drag and may bias sea turtle behavior. Advances in technology continue to improve PTTs, however, design opportunities remain so that deployment duration is increased and behavioral biases are limited. We review how PTTs are used to obtain information on sea turtle biology, the current state-of-the-art, review recent innovations and highlight potential areas for design improvements. There remain several areas to focus on design improvements: (1) improve attachment methods so as to stretch as juveniles grow but do not add additional height to tag profile, (2) improve tag profile and attachment location on the turtle carapace to limit hydrodynamic drag, (3) experiment with different energy harvesting options to extend deployment duration, and (4) improve antenna design and material to enhance robustness and transmission quality. Capitalizing on emerging technology that allows for increasing miniaturization will likely create tags that extend deployment duration and induce negligible behavioral biases and will create data that best represents the true biology of sea turtle species in-water.
