Item Juvenile green turtles (Chelonia mydas) in the effluent discharge channel of a steel plant, Espírito Santo, Brazil, 2000–2006(2010) TOREZANI, E.; BAPTISTOTTE, C.; MENDES, S. L.; BARATA, P. C. R.; Marine Biological Association of the United KingdomThis study, carried out from August 2000 to July 2006, began out of the recognition of a special ecological situation, when an aggregation of juvenile green turtles (Chelonia mydas) was found inside the effluent discharge channel of a steel plant located near Vito´ria, the State of Espı´rito Santo capital, eastern Brazil. The green turtles were captured through either cast nets or a set net or by hand (one turtle was captured alive on one of the channel banks); after data collection, they were released back into the discharge channel. Information is here reported on the temporal pattern of occurrence, size-classes, residency, presence of tumours and growth rates of tumoured and non-tumoured green turtles in the study area. A total of 640 individual green turtles were captured in the six years; 448 of them were captured just once, and 192 were captured two or more times. Curved carapace length ranged between 25.2 and 77.5 cm. Among the captured green turtles, 59.1% were classified as being in normal body condition and without any tumours, 6.6% were either underweight or emaciated but without any tumours, and 34.4% had tumours, with different levels of the tumour severity score.Item Captura incidental de tortugas marinas por las flotas de palangre pelágico de Brasil y Uruguay (1998 - 2010)(2014) GIFFONI, B.; LEITE JR, N.; MILLER, P.; PONS, M.; SALES, G.; DOMINGO, A.Sea turtles are highly migratory species and during their long life cycle they are face to different threats. One of the biggest threat is the incidental captures by fisheries, thus longline fishery has been pointed out as great concern due to the high captures rates. This work summarize the incidental capture of sea turtles by Brazilian and Uruguayan longline fleet, taking account different aspects to be considered in sea turtles productivity and susceptibility analyses - PSA. The data analyzed were collected by observers of the Programa Nacional de Observadores a Bordo de la Flota Atunera Uruguaya (PNOFA) from Uruguay, and Programa Nacional de Observadores de Bordo da Frota Pesqueira do Brasil (PROBORDO), Fundação Pró-TAMAR, Instituto ALBATROZ and Núcleo de Educação e Monitoramento Ambiental (NEMA) from Brazil. On total 25.164.089 hooks were sampled by Brazil and Uruguay between 2008 and 2010. On average, the sampled effort represented 1,5% of total effort applied at the same area by ICCAT CPCs. Loggerhead was the specie most captured (n =6.594), followed by Leatherback (n = 1.379) and Olive ridley (n = 600). All specie nest in Brazil. Regarding to productivity aspects, the Brazilian population of loggerhead, leatherback and olive ridley are increasing. For the Susceptibility analyses and considering availability, 7 different RMUs are being impacted by longline. Related to encounterability, the 3 turtle species spent the most time at the same depth range as Brazilian and Uruguayan longline toward to catch swordfish. For selectivity, juveniles of the loggerhead turtle are the most captured, while for olive ridley and leatherback, sub-adult and adult have been most captured by longline fleet of both countries.- Prevalence of internal tumor in Green Turtles (Chelonia mydas) affected by Fibropapilomatosis in Brazil(2015) D´AZEREDO, F; PIRES, T; MONTE, T; MELO, T.D; VELLOSO, R; GOLDBERG, D; BAPTISTOTTE, C; ALMOSNY, N; BRUNO, S
Item Relationship between fibropapillomatosis and environmental quality: a case study with Chelonia mydas off Brazil(2010-02-24) SANTOS G., Robson; MARTINS S., Agnaldo; TOREZANI, Evelise; BAPTISTOTTE, Cecília; NÓBREGA F., Julyana; HORTA A., Paulo; WORK M., Thierry; BALAZS H., GeorgeWe documented the presence of fibropapillomatosis (FP), a debilitating tumor-forming disease, in marine turtles in Espírito Santo Bay (Brazil) from March 2007 to April 2008, and assessed the value of a specific environmental index for predicting the prevalence of FP. Turtles were captured monthly with entanglement nets and scored for presence and severity of FP. For the assessment of habitat quality, we used the ecological evaluation index (EEI) based on benthic macrophytes. The FP free control area was classified as good quality (EEI = 8) and the study area, with high FP prevalence, was classified as bad quality (EEI = 2). Prevalence of FP in the study area was 58.3% with an average of 40 tumors per individual, and prevalence varied positively with curved carapace length (CCL). No FP was seen in the control area. The number of turtles heavily afflicted (tumor score category 3) was 10 times larger than those lightly affected (tumor score category 1). Most tumors were found on or near the front and rear flippers; no oral tumors or internal tumors were found. At recapture, 41% of formerly tumor-free turtles revealed FP, often increasing in severity with time, and very few turtles showed signs of disease regression. From the results of this study we concluded that FP is particularly severe in Espírito Santo Bay. Future studies should focus on evaluating how widespread FP is in Brazil, whether prevalence is increasing or decreasing, and elucidating the pathology and pathogen esis of FP in sea turtles in BrazilItem Relationship between fibropapillomatosis and environmental quality(2010-02-24) SANTOS, R.

RItem Satellite-tracking Reveals Multiple Foraging Strategies and Threats for Olive ridley Turtles in Brazil(2011-12-20) SILVA, A. C. C. D.; dos SANTOS, E. A. P.; OLIVEIRA, F. L. C.; WEBER, M. I.; BATISTA, J. A. F.; SERAFINI, T. Z.; CASTILHOS, J. C.The state of Sergipe in northeastern Brazil is the largest nesting area for olive ridley turtles along this nation’s coast, and constitutes a major rookery in the western Atlantic as well. Conservation efforts with a focus on nesting activities have been implemented there since 1982, but little is known about other aspects of the life cycle, specifically post-nesting movements of females and the locations of foraging grounds. To address this issue, satellite transmitters were deployed on 10 females that nested between February and April 2006. The turtles were monitored for an average of 113 d (range: 14 to 297 d), and an average movement of 1669 km (range: 407 to 4265 km) was recorded. Of the 10 turtles monitored, 6 moved along the Brazilian continental shelf to neritic foraging areas. Five of these turtles utilized foraging areas along the northern and northeastern coasts of Brazil, while one foraged along the southeastern coastline. Two females were tracked to equatorial oceanic waters, with one first moving to an inshore foraging site where she remained for 34 d before migrating to oceanic waters off the Brazilian coast. Signal transmission of 3 of the 10 turtles tracked ceased during their post-nesting migrations, preventing identification of their feeding areas. Olive ridley turtles nesting on the coast of Sergipe displayed a range of post-nesting movements including to coastal sites along the continental shelf as well as offshore oceanic areas. Inter-nesting habitats, migration routes and foraging grounds showed great overlap with a variety of coastal fisheries, as well as with longline fishing in oceanic waters, a key consideration for developing conservation strategies for this species in the western Atlantic.Item Relationship between fibropapillomatosis and environmental quality: a case study with Chelonia mydas off Brazil.(2010-02-24) SANTOS, R.
