Stress Response of Juvenile Green Sea Turtles (Chelonia mydas) with Different Fibropapillomatosis Scores

Abstract: Green sea turtles ( Chelonia mydas ) with cutaneous fibropapillomatosis (FP) occur in some populations worldwide, and the survivability of these individuals may be compromised depending on the disease severity score. Furthermore, populations may be negatively affected in areas with a high prevalence of the disease. The stress responses (corticosterone, glucose, lactate, and hematocrit) to capture and handling were assessed in animals with different FP severity scores. From 18 January 2013 to 31 July 2014, 33 j… Show more

“…Turtles were captured by hand by an experienced swimmer following the technique described by Limpus (1978) and brought onboard. On the boat we recorded curved carapace length (CCL), notch to tip, with a flexible measuring tape (Bolten 1999) and, considering external physical evaluation (sensu Santos et al 2017), the number, size, anatomic region, gross morphology, consistency, and color of cutaneous tumors present on each animal. Tumor size was recorded with a digital caliper, measuring the longest axis (Rossi et al 2016).…”

“…Las tortugas fueron atrapadas manualmente por un nadador experimentado siguiendo la técnica descrita por Limpus (1978) y, posteriormente, fueron subidas a bordo. En la embarcación, se midió el largo curvo del caparazón (LCC) con una cinta métrica flexible (Bolten 1999) y, con base en la evaluación física externa (sensu Santos et al 2017), se registró el número, el tamaño, la región anatómica, la morfología, la consistencia y el color de los tumores cutáneos presentes en cada animal. El tamaño de los tumores se obtuvo usando un vernier digital midiendo el eje mayor (Rossi et al 2016).…”

“…Work and Balasz [ 46 ] were the first to propose a system to categorize FP tumors by size, developing a semi-quantitative score that has been widely used to classify the severity of FP in green turtles [ 22 , 28 , 34 , 44 , 80 – 83 ]. More recently, Rossi and colleagues [ 8 ] proposed an objective index to quantify the severity of FP based on the number and size of tumors, the fibropapillomatosis index (FPI), as well as a standardized approach to categorize the anatomical distribution of tumors.…”
