Introduction
This project is aimed to investigate the impacts of turtles' interactions with longline fishing gear with respect to their stress levels, biochemistry, and post-release movements and survivorship. Turtles in this group were captured in the Mediterranean during a 2 year period during which we had the opportunity to capture turtles that had been free-swimming as well as caught in longline fishing gear. We will look at the data to determine empirical differences in tracking duration and biochemical/hematological profiles to better understand how these fisheries interactions affect sea turtles.
