Separate biomarkers may be need for #loggerhead and #kempsridley #seaturtles. Celina Caballos of FGCU looked at plasma proteomics of #seaturtles that stranded during #redtide events. #serstm2025
🧪🦑 This is the underside of the shell of the critically endangered Kemp’s Ridley Sea Turtle (Lepidochelys kempii).
This species is unfortunately the most endangered sea turtle species in the world, this individual washed up a couple of weeks ago off the Scottish coastline.
