Marine Turtle Newsletter 6:4, © 1978
Frank J. Schwartz (Institute of Marine Sciences, University of North Carolina, Morehead City, N.C. 28557, U.S.A.) has begun to study the use of internal coded wire tags. These have been inserted into the body and fins of hatchling and larger turtles. So far the turtles have retained these tags. The retention, as well as possible effects of the internal tags on the turtles, will be studied.
