| [Chemical composition of eggs of the Olive Ridley Lepidochelys olivacea (Testudines: Cheloniidae) and it's potential as a food source]. | The Olive Ridley is a worldwide distributed species with high nesting production per season, and in La Escobilla Oaxaca, México, there is a 70% of non-hatched eggs that are lost. In order to evaluate their potential use as a source for human and animal food products, their chemical composition was analyzed. Lyophilized egg samples from 25 turtles were obtained and were analyzed following the analytical methods for fatty acids, protein, fat, ash, moisture, amino acids, vitamins, cholesterol and m ... | 2011 | 22208089 |
| identification and evaluation of semiochemicals for the biological control of the beetle omorgus suberosus (f.) (coleoptera: trogidae), a facultative predator of eggs of the sea turtle lepidochelys olivacea (eschscholtz). | the beetle omorgus suberosus (f.) is a facultative predator of eggs of the olive ridley turtle lepidochelys olivacea (eschscholtz). laboratory and field investigations were conducted in order to characterize volatile attractants of o. suberosus and to explore the potential for application of these volatiles in a selective mass trapping method. headspace sorptive extraction (hsse) coupled to thermo-desorption gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (td-gc-ms) analysis of the volatile constituents fr ... | 2017 | 28192472 |
| levels of perfluorinated acids (pfcas) in different tissues of lepidochelys olivacea sea turtles from the escobilla beach (oaxaca, mexico). | lepidochelys olivacea is the most abundant and globally distributed sea turtle species in the world and thus, monitoring this species for persistent organic pollutants, such as perfluorinated chemicals, is fundamental for their protection. this study was the first to evaluate the occurrence of five pfcas (pfoa, pfna, pfda, pfuna, pfdoa) in liver and blood samples of olive ridley turtle population from the escobilla beach (oaxaca, mexico). pfda and pfuna were the predominant pfcs in blood samples ... | 2016 | 27522287 |
| metals and metalloids in whole blood and tissues of olive ridley turtles (lepidochelys olivacea) from la escobilla beach (oaxaca, mexico). | concentrations of eight metals and metalloids (pb, cd, cu, zn, mn, se, ni and as) were evaluated from 41 nesting females (blood) and 13 dead (tissues) olive ridley turtles (lepidochelys olivacea), a species classified as vulnerable and also listed in appendix i of the convention of international trade in endangered species (cites). the mean blood, liver and kidney lead concentration were 0.02 ± 0.01, 0.11 ± 0.08 and 0.06 ± 0.03 μ gg(-1) ww respectively, values lower than other turtle species and ... | 2014 | 25301056 |
| mercury in blood and eggs of the sea turtle lepidochelys olivacea from a nesting colony in oaxaca, mexico. | mercury concentrations were assessed in the sea turtle lepidochelys olivacea from a nesting colony of oaxaca, mexico; 25 female turtles were sampled, a total of 250 eggs were collected during the season 2005-2006. higher concentrations were found in yolk fraction, while in blood and albumen mean levels were below of 0.0010μg g(-1) dry wt. on the basis of one nesting season, the maternal transfer of hg via eggs-laying was estimated in 2.0±1.1%. according to international norms, the health of this ... | 2011 | 21529853 |
