Not Just Corticosterone: Further Characterization of the Endocrine Response of Kemp’s Ridley Sea Turtles (<i>Lepidochelys kempii</i>) Reveals Elevated Plasma Aldosterone Concentrations During Field Capture Events

Not Just Corticosterone: Further Characterization of the Endocrine Response of Kemp’s Ridley Sea Turtles (<i>Lepidochelys kempii</i>) Reveals Elevated Plasma Aldosterone Concentrations During Field Capture Events

To develop safe and effective management policies, it is important to understand the physiologic effects of fishing interactions and scientific research methods on endangered marine species. In the present study, validated assays for plasma corticosterone, free thyroxine (fT4), and aldosterone were...
