Abstract

Swimming behavior and speed of green turtle (Chelonia mydas) and hawksbill turtle (Eretmochelys imbricata) hatchlings swimming offshore were compared between individuals that were free swimming and the same individuals towing a float. Towing a float did not influence swimming behavior in either species, but decreased swimming speed by 20% in green turtles and 50% in hawksbill turtles.

在海龟养殖场进行近海游泳时，拖曳浮筒可降低游泳速度但不会影响游泳行为

在自由游泳的个体和拖曳漂浮物的相同个体之间，比较了在近海游泳的绿海龟（Chelonia mydas）和hawksbill龟（Eretmochelys imbrica）幼龟的游泳行为和速度。拖曳花车对这两种海龟的游泳行为都没有影响，但绿海龟的游泳速度降低了20%，而霍克斯龟的游泳速度下降了50%。
