Abstract

We conducted physical examinations of 8 green turtles (Chelonia mydas) with boat strike injuries caught repeatedly near Mabul Island (lat 4.246°N, long 118.630°E), Malaysia, where 1 adult female showed evidence of newly recorded injuries in every capture. The healing progress of boat strike injuries on this turtle and 7 other green turtles of various size classes with similar injuries was documented through repetitive captures from between August 2010 and November 2017. We provide the first report of its kind on the incidence of newly documented boat strike injuries on repeatedly captured wild green turtles at their foraging ground.

马来西亚沙巴州马布尔岛捕获的野生绿海龟（Chelonia mydas）与最新记录的船只撞击受伤

我们对8只在马来西亚马布尔岛（北纬4.246°，东经118.630°）附近多次被捕获的船只撞击受伤的绿海龟（Chelonia mydas）进行了身体检查，每次捕获都有1只成年雌性海龟出现新记录的受伤迹象。从2010年8月到2017年11月，通过重复拍摄，记录了这只海龟和其他7只不同大小、有类似损伤的绿海龟的船只撞击伤的愈合进展。我们提供了第一份关于新记录的在觅食地多次捕获的野生绿海龟遭受船只撞击伤害的报告。
