What makes marine turtles go: A review of metabolic rates and their consequences (2008, background): “Clearly, marine turtle energy budget estimations would benefit from refinement of input parameters, such as energy content of prey items (Doyle et al., 2007), energetic costs of specific components (e.”
Large‐scale movements and high‐use areas of western Pacific leatherback turtles, Dermochelys coriacea (2011, background): “Gelatinous zooplankton are generally considered relatively nutrient-poor (Doyle et al. 2007), and leatherbacks must consume large quantities of prey (20–30% of their body mass daily, Davenport and Balazs 1991).”
The diet composition of immature loggerheads: Insights on trophic niche, growth rates, and fisheries interactions (2009, background): “As illustrated by Seney and Musick (2007), it is possible that some individual loggerheads in NC supplement their diets by taking advantage of fishery discards or target catch in poundnets or other fishing gear, and that consumption of this relatively high energy resource (Doyle et al., 2007) could ”
The trophodynamics of marine top predators: Current knowledge, recent advances and challenges (2015, background): “However, a common perception remains that gelatinous organisms represent a dead-end in marine food webs due to their low caloric value ( 0.1 KJ g 1 wet mass in Doyle et al., 2007; Sommer et al., 2002).”
