Abstract:

This study involves analysis of skeletal growth marks in humerus bones of 333 Kemps ridley sea turtles stranded dead along the Gulf of Mexico US coast (hatchling to adult) and provides age, growth rate, and stage duration estimates

Purpose:

To characterize size-at-age relationships, growth patterns, age and size at maturation, and adult stage duration for Kemps ridley sea turtles in the Gulf of Mexico
