Post mortem examination is an important tool in sea turtle diseases investigation and its relation to anthropogenic stressors. In order to identify the possible causes of sea turtles strandings, Projeto TAMAR-ICMBio conducts necropsies at its research stations along the brazilian coast. Moreover, TAMAR has developed research agreements through veterinary universities research programs to allow more accurate diagnostics. In this study, we analyze results from 989 necropsies performed at TAMAR Stations in Bahia, Espírito Santo, São Paulo and Santa Catarina States (Figure 1), from January 2009 to May 2011.
