Archibald1, Michael C.

Here we used standardized external injury assessments to investigate the relative importance of direct anthropogenic and natural threats to the Northwest Atlantic population of leatherback turtles Dermochelys coriacea, and to evaluate whether susceptibility to these threats varies between low-latitude nesting and high-latitude foraging regions, and by sex and size (i.e. age). We sampled leatherbacks foraging in temperate waters off Nova Scotia, Canada (n = 92), and at a nesting beach in Trinidad, West Indies (n = 137), where, combined, 62% of turtles exhibited characteristic markings associated with at least 1 injury (i.e. entanglement scarring, amputations, bites, etc.). There were no significant differences in injury rate or type between regions or between sexes or size classes. The proportion of leatherbacks exhibiting injuries of suspected anthropogenic origin (34%) was significantly higher (p < 0.001) than the proportion with injuries of suspected predatory origin (16%), but did not exceed the proportion with injuries of unknown origin (34%). Nineteen percent exhibited injuries indicative of entanglement in rope, lines, or nets, and 17% showed evidence of potential interaction with hooks. These results suggest that the Northwest Atlantic leatherback population faces common and possibly widely distributed threats from both predators and fishing gear across its range and are consistent with growing evidence positing fisheries bycatch as one of the principal direct threats facing this species.
