NOTES
- 1. RECAPTURE. Turtle was removed from the intake canal, tagged and released at Hutchinson Island on 10/9/11, 1/8/12 and 2/5/12.
- 2. REHAB (NON-CAUSAL). STSSN# CRM120213-01. RECAPTURE. Turtle was removed from the intake canal, tagged and released at Hutchinson Island on 5/4/06. Turtle hand captured immediately after entrainment while floating down canal. Emaciated and lethargic. Transported by IRG biologists the same day to Loggerhead Marine Life Center.
- 3. REHAB (NON-CAUSAL). STSSN# STW120226-02. Turtle captured in tangle nets set daily by Inwater Research Group (IRG) biologists. Long line hook lodged in throat. Transported half-way to Sea World by IRG staff. Turtle transferred to Sea World personnel at Yeehaw Junction.

NOTES
- 1. Adult female. Weight estimated using CCL to mass regression published by James, Sherrill-Mix, Myers (2007).
- 2. RECAPTURE. Turtle was removed from the intake canal, tagged and released at Hutchinson Island on 3/16/12 and 3/28/12.
SMCL = Straight Minimum Carapace Length SMCL = Straight Standard Carapace Length CSCL = Curved Standard Carapace Length CMCW = Curved Maximum Carapace Width SMCW = Straight Maximum Carapace Width SMPL = Straight Midline Plastron Length
NOTES
- 1. REHAB (NON-CAUSAL). STSSN# DRC120401-01. Turtle underweight and lethargic with scutes sloughing off.
Bone exposed on carapace from scute sloughing in two places (not fresh scrapes) and 5% of posterior carapace missing from an old injury (healed). Heavy epibiont load/coverage. SMCL is an estimate.
MLC staff picked up turtle and transported it to the Loggerhead Marinelife Center in Juno for rehab.
- 2. REHAB (NON-CAUSAL). STSSN# JRG120409-01. Severely emaciated and lethargic. Recovered from 5-inch barrier net in the morning. Eyes sunken in and heartbeat visible (moribund state). Missing 15% from LRF and 10% from RRF (both healed). Heavy epibiont load. Turtle transported to LMC in Juno Beach by IRG biologists in the morning.
- 3. REHAB (NON-CAUSAL). STSSN #STW120411-01. Recovered floating at surface near barrier net (may have buoyancy issues). Perimeter of carapace broken at right anterior margin (14cm x 6cm; necrotic). Broken bone exposed with opening into body cavity. Lethargic & underweight with sloughing of scutes on carapace.
Small 1cm hole in right anterior inframarginals of plastron. Transported by FWC sea turtle stranding coordinator (Amber) to MLC in Juno Beach.
- 4. Dermochelys coriacea. Relatively small leatherback sea turtle. Weight estimated at 450lbs (~200kg).
Old discolored scar in left shoulder. CSCL was taken on the right side of keel. Over the keel curved length was 148.5. Fresh scrapes were minor. Biopsy taken.
- 5. RECAPTURE. Turtle was removed from the intake canal, tagged and released at Hutchinson Island on 9/18/11 and 4/26/12. New inconel tag #BBR134 inserted today in RFF.
- 6. RECAPTURE. Turtle was removed from the intake canal, tagged and released at Hutchinson Island on 1/12/07, 2/28/07, 7/12/07, 8/5/07, 9/8/07, 3/31/09, 12/2/09, 3/22/10, 10/12/10, 6/23/11, 10/20/11 and 4/27/12.
Small deformity (lump) on last two vertebral scutes.
- 7. RECAPTURE. Turtle was removed from the intake canal, tagged and released at Hutchinson Island on 10/12/11 and 4/29/12. Recent shark bite in inguinal/ventral area of RRF. Bite was 10cm across and still healing. Shark rakings also on plastron, presumably from same attack (healing).
