| Abstract |
This paper presents results of National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) sea turtle research at Cape Canaveral, FL from 1978-1984. Captures of Kemp's ridley (Lepidochelys kempi) and green turtles (Chelonia mydas) were analyzed to determine seasonal occurrence, size composition and movement patterns. For Kemp's ridley, additional capture records from Georgia and South Carolina were included in the analyses for comparative purposes. |
