Abstract

Standard external morphometrics and internal oral cavity morphometrics data were collected on wild and captive reared loggerhead sea turtles in size classes ranging from 25-95 cm straight carapace length. These data will be used to investigate the behavioral and physiological characteristics of incidental capture interactions in longline fisheries.

Purpose

Oral cavity morphometry data from loggerheads are used to investigate the behavioral and physiological characteristics of incidental capture interactions in longline fisheries to inform management and for peer-reviewed publication.
