Effects of egg incubation methods on crawling and swimming performance of green turtle (chelonia mydas) hatchlings

Current sea turtle conservation programs in Malaysia include natural incubation of eggs (in-situ) and eggs transferred to beach hatcheries of styrofoam boxes (ex-situ). Although different methods are used to incubate clutches of turtle eggs in tur hatchery management, the quality of hatchlings (in...

Although different methods are used to incubate clutches of turtle eggs in tur hatchery management, the quality of hatchlings (in terms of locomotor performance and morphological characteristics) produced by these different methods is little known, and needs further investigation
