A model of loggerhead sea turtle (Caretta caretta) habitat and movement in the oceanic North Pacific.
Habitat preferences for juvenile loggerhead turtles in the North Pacific were investigated with data from two several-year long tagging programs, using 224 satellite transmitters deployed on wild and captive-reared turtles. Animals ranged between 23 and 81 cm in straight carapace length. Tracks were...
