| Abstract |
|
A major difficulty in sea turtle conservation is the inability to nonlethally and noninvasively identify the sex of hatchling sea turtles. Traditional sexing techniques such as plasma sex steroid quantification cannot be applied to hatchlings without sacrificing the hatchlings or utilizing invasive procedures. This paper presents a technique for sexing hatchling sea turtles by analysis of sex steroid concentrations in egg chorioallantoic/amniotic fluid.
