• Are we working towards global research priorities for management and conservation of sea turtles (2016, background): “There is also growing evidence that hook removal has the potential to reduce postrelease mortality (Swimmer et al. 2006, Álvarez de Quevedo et al. 2013, Swimmer et al. 2014, Gilman & Huang 2016).”
• Satellite tracking of sea turtles: Where have we been and where do we go next? (2008, methodology): “In the Pacific, Polovina et al. (2000, 2004, 2006) and Swimmer et al. (2002, 2006) have tracked relatively large numbers of juvenile loggerhead and olive ridley turtles, demonstrating clear inter-specific differences in habitat utilisation, association with specific oceanic features and active…”
• Impacts of fisheries bycatch on loggerhead turtles worldwide inferred from reproductive value analyses (2008, background): “…there are relatively few available post-release mortality rates of turtles released alive after interactions with fishing gear, improved estimates are possible through strategic deployment of satellite transmitters on turtles taken as bycatch and subsequently released (Swimmer et al. 2006).”
• Looking beyond the mortality of bycatch: sublethal effects of incidental capture on marine animals (2014, unknown): “Swimmer et al. (2006) suggest that it is reasonable to assume that all turtles were then able to engage in normal breeding behaviours given the absence of behavioural impairment.”
• Movement patterns of marine turtles in the Mediterranean Sea: a review (2014, background): “water temperature or depths reached) can be collected by the PTT on-board sensors and then transmitted every time the turtle surfaces or when the PTT detaches from the turtle as programmed (“pop-up units”; Swimmer et al. 2006).”
• Effects of eliminating shallow hooks from tuna longline sets on target and non-target species in the Hawaii-based pelagic tuna fishery (2009, methodology): “Turtle interactions are approximately 10 times greater in shallow set night longline gear than tuna (deep) set gear (SPC, 2001; Ito and Machado, 2001) because species such as loggerhead sea turtles (Caretta caretta) and olive Ridley sea turtles (Lepidochelys olivacea) spend the majority of their tim”
• Bottom or midwater: alternative foraging behaviours in adult female loggerhead sea turtles (2007, background): “…observed in remote locations far from land during nonnesting periods (Godley et al., 2002; Polovina et al., 2003; Hays et al., 2004a; James, Myers & Ottensmeyer, 2005; Eckert, 2006; Hatase et al., 2006; Hawkes et al., 2006; Sale et al., 2006; Swimmer et al., 2006; McMahon, Bradshaw & Hays, 2007).”
• Impacts of fisheries bycatch on marine turtle populations worldwide: toward conservation and research priorities (2013, background): “Although improved estimates of post-release mortality would further refine evaluation of bycatch impacts in different fishing gears (e.g., Swimmer et al. 2006), these findings illustrate that while efforts to observe and reduce marine turtle bycatch in longlines should continue, increased efforts…”
