Abstract

This involves two studies.

This first study involves analysis of skeletal growth marks in scleral ossicle bones of 33 leatherback sea turtles stranded dead along the Atlantic and Gulf of Mexico US coasts (hatchling to adult) and 8 captive-reared juvenile leatherbacks and provides age estimates

The second later study involves leatherback back-calculated age and growth in the northwest Atlantic Ocean and in the northern Pacific Ocean.

Abstract:	This involves two studies. This first study involves analysis of skeletal growth marks in scleral ossicle bones of 33 leatherback sea turtles stranded dead along the Atlantic and Gulf of Mexico US coasts (hatchling to adult) and 8 captive-reared juvenile leatherbacks and provides age estimates The second later study involves leatherback back-calculated age and growth in the northwest Atlantic Ocean and in the northern Pacific Ocean.
Purpose:	For first study: To characterize size-at-age relationships and age at maturation for leatherback sea turtles in the western North Atlantic For The Second Study: To show back calculated age and growth of leatherback sea turtles in the western North Atlantic and the northern Pacific.
Notes:	dataset used for publications
