Resumo
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.
