The Mediterranean Sea is particularly endangered by microplastics (MPs), polymers, and additives. These contaminants can be ingested fishes and, hence, translocate into tissues. We aimed to quantify MPs, polyethylene terephthalate (PET), polycarbonate (PC), bisphenol A (BPA), p-phthalic acid (PTA) in the edible muscles of swordfish (Xiphias gladius) bluefin tuna (Thunnus thynnus) caught Sea. MPs were extracted from characterized stereomicroscopy Raman microspectroscopy, while polymers (PET...
Although there are increasing reports on the prevalence of Listeria monocytogenes in wild species, this is first case listeriosis sea turtle. An adult female Caretta caretta was rescued after being stranded alive along coast Abruzzo region (Italy) summer 2021. The turtle died 6 days due to respiratory failure. necropsy showed widespread organ lesions, such as yellow foci necrosis many organs, gastrointestinal erosions, pericarditis, and granulomatous pneumonia. Microbiological histological...
The prevalence of endoparasite infections in 83 free-living specimens Caretta caretta, classified as vulnerable species, from the Adriatic Sea and Northern Ionian was investigated by coprological examination. Thirty-seven (44.6%) turtles were found to be infected with helminths. helminth were: Rhytidodes gelatinosus Sulcascaris sulcata (18.1% each), Hapalotrema mistroides (13.2%), Cymatocarpus solearis (9.6%), Eniodotrema megachondrus (7.2%), Kathlania/Tonaudia sp. (3.6%), Neospirorchis sp.,...
Abstract Assessing sea turtle movements and connectivity among different areas is pivotal to understanding their biology implementing efficient conservation actions. In the Adriatic Sea, one of most important foraging in Mediterranean, a total 311 capture–mark–recapture (CMR) records (mostly bycatch) from 294 loggerhead turtles (Caretta caretta) period 1984–2021 were analysed. A general fidelity pattern subareas was indicated by significantly shorter CMR distance than potential dispersal...
