Pathology and Parasitology
As part of our on-going studies of the endangered Kemp’s ridley sea turtle and our quest to understand the events that surround the cold-stun phenomenon that results with the stranding and death of tens to hundreds of turtles each year on Cape Cod, we are pleased to announce the publication of paper that describes the pathology and parasitology of these animals in conjunction with NOAA Fisheries, the New England Aquarium, and the University of Connecticut.
