“…Serum biochemistry values for all three species examined were similar to those previously reported in chelonians with the exception of Ca 2+ (Anderson et al, 1997;Diethelm and Stein, 2006;Hidalgo-Vila et al, 2007;Innis et al, 2007;Chung et al, 2009;Rangel-Mendoza et al, 2009;Rossini et al, 2010;Chansue et al, 2011). Calcium was notably higher in the chelonians in this study and is likely to reflect egg production and development (Anderson et al, 1997;Harr et al, 2001).…”

“…Packed cell volume was not significantly different between C. longicollis and E. macquarii and was similar to values reported in other chelonians (Diethelm and Stein, 2006;Hidalgo-Vila et al, 2007;Innis et al, 2007;Perpiñ án et al, 2008;Chung et al, 2009;Chansue et al, 2011). Greater total protein in C. longicollis than in E. macquarii is most likely due to diet.…”

“…For all species examined, RBC and leukocyte morphology were similar to those described in other chelonians (Campbell and Ellis, 2007;Chung et al, 2009;Chansue et al, 2011). Packed cell volume was not significantly different between C. longicollis and E. macquarii and was similar to values reported in other chelonians (Diethelm and Stein, 2006;Hidalgo-Vila et al, 2007;Innis et al, 2007;Perpiñ án et al, 2008;Chung et al, 2009;Chansue et al, 2011).…”

“…The TWBC and leukocyte differentials for all three species examined were similar to those of other freshwater chelonians (Hidalgo-Vila et al, 2007;Chung et al, 2009;Rangel-Mendoza et al, 2009;Rossini et al, 2010;Chansue et al, 2011). Variation in the leukocyte differential counts observed between species is likely to reflect species-specific variation.…”

“…Chelodina longicollis is an obligate carnivore (Chessman, 1984), whereas E. macquarii is an omnivore with filamentous algae constituting approximately 53% of the diet (Spencer et al, 1998). The higher PCV of C. oblonga compared C. longicollis and E. macquarii was still within normal limits of other freshwater turtles (RangelMendoza et al, 2009;Rossini et al, 2010), although TP was higher than in other species of aquatic chelonians (Anderson et al, 1997;Diethelm and Stein, 2006;Hidalgo-Vila et al, 2007;Innis et al, 2007;Perpiñ á n et al, 2008;Chung et al, 2009;Rangel-Mendoza et al, 2009;Rossini et al, 2010;Chansue et al, 2011). The increased erythrocyte volume and serum protein in C. oblonga may be normal in this species or it could possibly reflect mild dehydration at the time of sampling FIGURE 1.…”

ABSTRACT:Hematologic and serum biochemical analyses were performed on 30 wild-caught, gravid, Australian freshwater chelonians. Species sampled were western long-necked turtles (Chelodina oblonga; n513), common long-necked turtles (Chelodina longicollis; n58), and Murray River turtles (Emydura macquarii; n59). Turtles were obtained from Lake Goolellal in Perth, Western Australia (C. oblonga), and Lake Coranderrk in Healesville, Victoria (C. longicollis and E. macquarii). All turtles were considered healthy at the time of sample collection. Blood results were similar to those reported in other freshwater chelonians, with the exception of elevated calcium levels in all species. Hypercalcemia was attributed to egg development and maturation. A hemoparasite morphologically resembling Haemogregarina clelandi was found in all C. oblonga samples and in four C. longicollis samples. Infection with H. clelandi appeared to have no physiological effects on blood parameters or morphometrics of infected turtles. Blood parameters were also considered poor indicators of female chelonian morphometrics and fecundity.

Interpretation and implementation of the Convention Species trade and conservation issues TORTOISES AND FRESHWATER TURTLES 1. This document has been prepared by the Secretariat. 2. At its 11th meeting (CoP11, Gigiri, 2000), the Conference of the Parties adopted Resolution Conf. 11.9 on the Conservation of and trade in tortoises and freshwater turtles, and amended it at its 12th and 13th meetings (CoP12, Santiago, 2002; CoP13, Bangkok, 2004). 3. In paragraph m) of Resolution Conf. 11.9 (Rev. CoP13), the Conference of the Parties urges range States of tortoises and freshwater turtles that authorize trade in these species to include in their periodic reporting under Article VIII, paragraph 7 (b), of the Convention information on progress in implementing this Resolution. 4. At its 14th meeting (CoP14, The Hague, 2007), the Conference of the Parties adopted the following Decisions: Directed to Parties 14.126 Parties should liaise with the World Customs Organization to promote the establishment and use of specific headings within the standard tariff classifications of the Harmonized System for tortoises and freshwater turtles and for products thereof. Directed to the Secretariat 14.127 The Secretariat shall submit a written summary of the information on the implementation of Resolution Conf. 11.9 (Rev. CoP13) that is contained in biennial reports from Parties for consideration at the 15th meeting of the Conference of the Parties (CoP15). 14.128 The Secretariat shall, subject to external funding, contract the Tortoise and Freshwater Turtle Specialist Group of the IUCN Species Survival Commission to undertake a study which would assist in the implementation of Resolution Conf. 11.9 (Rev. CoP13). Directed to the Animals Committee 14.129 The Animals Committee shall review the study and make recommendations at CoP15. Regarding Decision 14.126 5. The Conference of the Parties has previously called for WCO to create specific headings for certain CITES-listed taxa in the standard tariff classifications of the Harmonized System. Those requests that were channelled through the CITES Secretariat have not been implemented to date. This might be because WCO normally deals with the Customs authorities of its member countries on these matters, and not with CITES authorities. The Secretariat reported at CoP14 (see document CoP14 Doc. 57) that the process for CoP15 Doc. 49-p. 2 creating new codes within the standard tariff classifications of the Harmonized System takes about seven years from the time of proposal to its coming into effect. Regarding Decision 14.127 6. For reasons of efficiency, the Secretariat incorporated the report, mentioned in Decision 14.127 within the Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) between the Secretariat and the IUCN Species Survival Commission, Tortoise and Freshwater Turtle Specialist Group (IUCN-TFTSG) mentioned in Decision 14.128. Under the terms of reference of the MoU for this work, the Secretariat requested IUCN-TFTSG to examine and analyse details from biennial reports on progress in the implementation...
