Plasma Vitellogenin in Free-Ranging Loggerhead Sea Turtles (Caretta caretta) of the Northwest Atlantic Ocean

Figure 2

Mean detectable vitellogenin concentration in turtles captured in water in 2008 and 2009. There was no significant difference in mean detectable vitellogenin in samples from in-water captures in June and July ( ). One individual sampled in May 2009 (female, SCL = 93 cm) had a substantially higher concentration of vitellogenin in comparison to turtles sampled in June and July. Error bars represent the standard error of the mean.
