- A Comparison of Immature Green Turtle (Chelonia mydas) Diets among Seven Sites in the Main Hawaiian Islands1 (2008, background): “Dietary studies of green turtles in algal-dominated systems indicate that turtles feed predominantly on Rhodophyta (red algae), although Chlorophyta (green algae) and Phaeophyta ( brown algae) are also consumed (Garnett et al. 1985, Forbes 1996, Seminoff et al. 2002).”
- Diversity in trophic interactions of green sea turtles Chelonia mydas on a relatively pristine coastal foraging ground (2011, unknown): “Green turtles in the central Gulf of California fed on a diverse assemblage of marine algae, which was supplemented by a suite of animal matter with 25 non-algal food species being identified from esophageal lavage, fecal samples, and stomach contents (Seminoff et al. 2002).”
- A global review of green turtle diet: sea surface temperature as a potential driver of omnivory levels (2020, methodology): “2013), the analysis of gut contents from dead turtles (Mortimer 1981) and oesophageal lavage and faecal examination (Seminoff et al. 2002), while indirect biochemical approaches include stable isotope analysis (SIA) (Pearson et al.”

- Home range of green turtles Chelonia mydas at a coastal foraging area in the Gulf of California, Mexico (2002, background): “Seminoff et al. (2002) report that these red algae are the most common species consumed by green turtles in Bahía de los Angeles.”
- Population ecology of the green/black turtle (Chelonia mydas) in Bahía Magdalena, Mexico (2007, background): “They spend over ten and possibly up to 20 years (Seminoff et al. 2002a; Nichols 2003; Seminoff 2004) in these developmental habitats where they feed mostly on sea grass and algae (Felger and Moser 1973; Seminoff et al. 2002b ).”
- Feeding ecology of the East Pacific green sea turtle Chelonia mydas agassizii at Gorgona National Park, Colombia (2007, unknown): “Populations of the East Pacific green turtle have declined in many areas due to increased hunting at breeding sites (Green & Ortiz 1982, Alvarado-Diaz et al. 2001, Seminoff et al. 2002).”
