RItem Occurrence, growth and overall body condition of juvenile green turtle (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; BARATA, PJuvenile 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.
