Sex Ratios from Stranded Sea Turtles on the Upper Texas Coast

Dead stranded sea turtles were collected during ad hoc and systematic beach surveys conducted 1 January 1986 through 31 December 1992 by the National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) Sea Turtle Stranding and Salvage Network from Sabine Pass to the west end of Matagorda Island, Texas. During the study...

description Dead stranded sea turtles were collected during ad hoc and systematic beach surveys conducted 1 January 1986 through 31 December 1992 by the National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) Sea Turtle Stranding and Salvage Network from Sabine Pass to the west end of Matagorda Island, Texas. During the study period, sex was determined for 257 sea turtle carcasses including 144 Kemp's ridleys (Lepidochelys kempi), 103 loggerheads (Caretta caretta) six green turtles (Chelonia mydas), and four leatherbacks (Dermochelys coriacea). Females comprised at least 66.0% of the recoveries of each species; Kemp's ridley, 76.4; loggerhead, 66.0%; green, 66.7%; and leatherback, 75.0%.
