Item Abundance, size and overall body conditions of juvenile green turtles (chelonia mydas) in the effluent discharge channel of Tubarão Steel Company, Espírito Santo, Brazil.(Projeto Tamar-IBAMA – Vitória – ES, 2005) Baptistotte, C.; Torezani, E.; Coelho, B. B.Juvenile and adult green sea turtles (Chelonia mydas) are found in feeding areas along most of the Brazilian coast. However, information about this species on Brazil coast is scanty. The study is located in the effluent discharge channel of the Tubarão Steel Company, where there are a significant number of green sea turtles with and without fibropapillomatosis that utilize the place for feeding and growth.Item Coastal habitat degradation and green sea turtle diets in Southeastern Brazil(2011-06) Santos, R. G.; Martins, A. S; Farias, J. N; Horta, P. A.; Pinheiro, H. T.; Torezani, E.; Baptistotte, C.; Seminoff, J. A.; Balazs, G. H.; Work, T. M.To show the influence of coastal habitat degradation on the availability of food for green turtles (Chelonia mydas), we assessed the dietary preferences and macroalgae community at a feeding area in a highly urbanized region. The area showed low species richness and was classified as degraded. We examined stomach contents of 15 dead stranded turtles (CCL = 44.0 cm (SD 6.7 cm)). The diet was composed primarily of green algae Ulva spp. (83.6%). In contrast, the macroalgae community was dominated by the green alga Caulerpa mexicana. We found a selection for red algae, seagrass and Ulva spp., and avoidance for C. mexicana and brown alga Dictyopteris delicatula. The low diversity of available food items, possibly a result of environmental degradation, likely contributed to the low dietary diversity. The nutritional implications of this restricted diet are unclear.- OCCURRENCE, GROWTH AND OVERALL BODY CONDITION OF JUVENILE GREEN TURTLES (CHELONIA MYDAS) IN THE EFFLUENT DISCHARGE CHANNEL OF COMPANHIA SIDERÚRGICA DE TUBARÃO (TUBARÃO STEEL COMPANY), VITÓRIA, STATE OF ESPÍRITO SANTO, BRAZIL, 2000-2002(2003) Baptistotte, C.; Torezani, E.; Agrizzi, E. J.; Coelho, B. B.; Ferreira, L. S.; Gomes, M. G. T.; Barata, P. C. R.Juvenile and adult green sea turtles (Chelonia mydas) are found in feeding areas along most of the Brazilian coast. However, there is scant information about this species in the State of Espírito Santo. This study was undertaken by Projeto TAMAR, the Brazilian sea turtle conservation program, in partnership with Companhia Siderúrgica de Tubarão (CST, Tubarão Steel Company), after a significant number of green turtles were found to inhabit the effluent discharge channel of the steel plant. The objective was to analyze, through mark and recapture, movement patterns and growth rates, and also to assess the overall body condition of the turtles in that area.
