Sea turtle life up 152 years, is animal well-deserved 老壽星 animals longest life expectancy — turtles turtles as early as the emergence of 230 million years ago, on the planet is the famous ” “ living fossils.As far as the world of Guinness record, the turtle's life up 152 years, is a well-deserved 老壽星 in animals.Precisely because the turtle is the longevity of animals in the ocean, so the people along the instruction will still be turtle regarded as the mascot of longevity, just as the mainland people with pine trees the same as a symbol of longevity, coastal people also turn the turtle seen as a symbol of longevity, and have ” “ Wannian turtle. The ocean is currently a total of eight species of sea turtles, where there are four produced in our country, principally in Shandong and Fujian, Taiwan and Hainan, Zhejiang and Guangdong coast, the maximum number of our group is the green turtles.

In the ocean Live 8 species of sea turtles: a leatherback turtle, hawksbill turtles and red head, olive green squamous turtle, big turtles, green sea turtles, black turtle (Pacific Lepidochelys) peace back turtles.All of the sea turtles were classified as endangered species.
Since male turtles and young turtles go ashore, we will not be very difficult to know the sea turtle survival in the wild.The number of the sea turtles are generally calculated according to their hatching rate.
Research shows that all kinds of immature sea turtles are different degrees of diminished.Especially big turtles and leatherback turtles, all sea turtle disappearing kinds of greatest risk.The maximum number is olive green squamous turtle several to the Indian coast nesting.
Green turtle (Chelonia mydas) body large and heavy carapace length of about 0.7 ? 1 meters, weighing about 1.4 kilograms. ? 90The largest body length about 1.2 meters above sea level, 585 kilograms in weight.Carapace width and smooth, full-body-Brown or light green, distributed in coastal areas of the world; the main warm waters; feeding of seaweed and unlike other turtles sometimes ashore in the Sun.
Caretta caretta turtle () for a large, similar to the green turtles, but the larger head.Micro-reddish-brown or brown carapace length of about 0.7 ? 2.1 meters.Large specimens General weighing about 135 kilograms, but nearly 400 kilograms in weight.It is rumored that their temperament ferocious carnivorous, spread throughout the world's oceans.
Eretmochelys imbricata) hawksbill (body smaller.Its scientific name according to the carapace arranges the overlying plate of tile.The warm waters around the world ocean.Aggressive to feed animals and plants.KAB long about 40 55 cm (16, 22-inch) weighs about 45 kilograms of 13 100 pounds (29).
RI Dali turtle l. (Lepidochelys) is a small turtle, width, a circle.Atlantic RI Dali turtle (m. kempii) gray, about 60 ? 79 cm.Produced in the Gulf of Mexico, accidental Gulf stream, an East-North-New England, Great Britain and Europe.This kind of turtle and tortoise commonly known as "hybrids", this name originates from people mistook Atlantic RI Dali turtle is green turtles and turtle after generation.Pacific Dali turtle (L. olivacea) on the Indo-Pacific region. warm-water areaThe type of the body is greater than the Atlantic, slightly greenish to animals and plants.

Turtle is in existence for 1 billion years of prehistoric reptiles.Sea turtle scales and quality of the shell, although you can stay under water for several hours, but still want to regulate body temperature floating surface and breathe.
It is the largest sea turtle, Leatherback turtle as long as 2 metres, over 1 ton.The smallest is olive green squamous turtle, 75 cm long, 40 kg heavier.
Turtle uniqueness is the tortoise shell.It can protect sea turtles are inviolable, let them swim around freely in the harbour.In addition to the leatherback turtle, all of the sea turtles have shells.Leatherback turtles with thick oily skin, presents 5 longitudinal edged ..
And the tortoise, sea turtles which can't be in the head and limbs shrink back to the shell.Like wings-like forelimbs mainly used to promote the turtle forward, and the hind limbs like rudder direction in the grip of travelling time.
In mature male and female turtle prior to the body is the same.When male turtles matures, tail thickened with variable-length, because the reproductive organs in relation to the bottom of the tail.
Different types of sea turtles have different mature age.The hawksbill turtles 3 years old mature, turtles-50-year-old mature.Turtles must be at the land lay their eggs, once can yield 50-200 a ping-pong ball-shaped eggs, but the chances of young sea turtle survival respirable.
[edit this paragraph] Habitat and range of activities
Most of the sea turtle survival in a relatively shallow coastal waters and bays, lagoons, coral reefs and sea-river estuary.We usually warm and comfortable throughout the world's seas found turtles.
Different kinds and the same type of sea turtle populations within each migration habits.Some turtles to swim to several kilometers away from the nesting and feeding turtles.While the leatherback turtle migration farthest, they want to 5000 kilometers of beach nesting.Black turtle is like in their distribution area of the southernmost and northernmost turtles breeding and feeding.

Turtles whilst no teeth, but their beak but very sharp, different species have different eating habits.Turtle is divided into plant-eating, meat and omnivorous.
Red-headed turtle and tortoise and squamous cell, you can have JAWS milled crabs, some coral Mollusca, jellyfish.While the hawksbill turtle's upper beak hook Qu resembling olecranon, available from the coral interstices identify sponge, shrimps and squid.Green Turtle and black turtle palate assumes the jagged, mainly eats the seaweed and algae.
Turtles eat aquatic plants also swallowed seawater, ingest a large number of salt.Beside the sea turtle some special of the lacrimal gland expel these salts, creating a sea turtles on the shore of “ tears ” phenomenon.
[edit] this paragraph survive threat
Mainly hatching areas damaged and illegal poaching.
Incubation area damaged
The development of the beach greatly reduce sea turtle nesting sites.Turtles are no longer ashore incubation for various reasons: human activities and noise pollution and waste barricaded the turtles way, and if turtles eat the rubbish they may die; Beach man-made light allow turtles to mistake is misled them in the daytime, evening incubation, it will make just hatching out want to go back to sea turtles lose direction.In India Orissa incubation of olive green sea turtles are also facing serious threats.
Illegal poaching
Turtle shells are used to tabulate Combs, spectacle frames, jewelry and other cosmetics and priced very expensive.Turtle fat was used to make soup, sea turtle eggs is also considered wild game.
[edit this paragraph] sea turtle protection
Sea turtle protection work into a high-speed development period, coastal economic activities and harmful fishing operations subject to monitoring.Sea turtle conservation work has been much progress has been achieved.Australia has launched a project, investing millions of dollars in community in the turtle conservation activities, and trying to find ways to solve the problem of ghost nets.Indonesia is conducting an advanced study to determine the fishing industry and the turtle survival status of mutual relations, and with industry to develop appropriate mitigation measures.Seychelles have developed innovative ways to make the participation of private enterprise to actual conservation action.At present, eight countries have already begun implementation focuses on turtle protection of national plans, whereas the other ten countries are also plans to introduce similar schemes.Decades, Austria, Oman, Seychelles and South Africa are monitoring the number of various since sea turtle; otherwise several countries in the last decade have also implemented a protection scheme.United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) in Bangkok Office is responsible for coordinating the agreement executed by Douglas Hykle said, this national report made it clear that countries are making greater efforts, monitoring, management and protection of the countries of the turtles.
The quantity of green turtles in Sudan, Oman, but in Indonesia and the Philippines, due to unsustainable poaching turtle eggs and collected, the quantity of green turtles.It is reported in the Indian Embassy in the nest, thousands of Lepidochelys quantity continues to decline.While in Thailand, Lepidochelys quantity has been very scarce, it is estimated the number only and has a history of 5 per cent of the high level. Signatory pointed out that natural phenomena such as predator-prey is the largest sea turtle facing threats, immediately following it is incidental capture of coastal fisheries issues.It is reported both threats involving 18 countries by about 35 per cent of the scene in strength is “ moderate to strong ”.In 14 countries of the 20 per cent of field investigations, turtle egg collection have serious threats at all ranks third.After a thorough investigation, the traditional turtle meat and turtle egg consumption remains at three quarters of the signatory States.
Fishery is also becoming the focus of concern.Half of the signatory to the report of fixed gill net have severe effects on sea turtle.Shrimp trawling cause turtle become Deputy catches by, has been a serious problem, however, only one signatory taken effective measures to solve this problem.There are other harmful illegal fishing activities have been put on record, some destructive fishing methods start coming back, such as the use of explosives and poison.
The development of coastal areas, such as the negative consequences of tourism, has also become a focus of attention.The project's Advisory Committee, said Dr Jack Frazier: “ in most of the Indian Ocean region, coastal development, particularly tourism facilities construction quickly.On sea turtle nesting beaches and turtle foraging and rest of the nearshore beaches, the negative effects caused by growing significantly.”
Is expected to have more than 30 countries of the official delegation will attend the Bali meeting.The meeting will discuss an ambitious conservation and management plan to implement the programme involves the field of the 24 project.The meeting will focus case studies, including coastal development problems, fisheries and the turtle of a large project in India and Indonesia to tuna longline fishing industry.The meeting also discusses the establishment of a turtle and endangered habitats in the network.
Recently also will introduce some sharing of information and monitoring turtle number of new tools, such as recently upgraded IOSEA online reporting system.The line database at: work of this paragraph the words
Overseas officers.Formerly ” “ returned, and now use more is known as “ turtles homonym ”. This is known as the network.
