Abstract

U ovom radu opisano je stanje populacija triju vrsta morskih kornjača u Jadranskom moru: glavate želve (Caretta caretta), zelene želve (Chelonia mydas) i sedmopruge usminjače ( Dermacheys coriacea). Morske kornjače su drevni gmazovi koji nastanjuju mora i oceane i tijekom posljednjih 150 milijuna godina. Najčešća vrsta u Jadranskom moru je glavata želva. Najveća prijetnja morskim kornjačama je interakcija s ljudima. Iako su sve vrste morskih kornjača zaštićene ćesto se zapliću u ribolovne alate i tako slučajno ulove. Procjenjuje se da se pridnenim koćama u Jadranskom moru svake godine ulovi preko 5.000 morskih kornjača.

Abstract (english)

In this paper it is described the state of the populations of three sea turtle species in the Adriatic Sea: loggerhead turtles, (Carreta caretta), green turtles (Chelonia mydas), and seven-striped loggerheads (Dermacheys coriacea). Sea turtles are ancient reptiles that have inhabited the seas and oceans for the past 150 million years. The most common species in the Adriatic Sea is the loggerhead turtle. The biggest threat to sea turtles is interaction with humans. Although all species of sea turtles are protected, they often become entangled in fishing gear and thus accidentally caught. It is estimated that more than 5,000 sea turtles are caught by bottom trawlers in the Adriatic Sea every year.
