Migratory corridors and foraging hotspots: critical habitats identified for Mediterranean green turtles (2015, background): “The largely herbivorous diet of the adult green turtle may render it less susceptible to target baited longline hooks than the sympatric carnivorous loggerhead turtle, although opportunistic carnivory is known to occur (Bjorndal, 1997) and has been detected in young adults in the Mediterranean throu”
Plastic and marine turtles: a review and call for research (2016, background): “largely herbivorous (Bjorndal, 1997).”
A global review of green turtle diet: sea surface temperature as a potential driver of omnivory levels (2020, background): “, scyphozoan jellyfish and salps), sponges, molluscs and fish (Mortimer 1981; Bjorndal 1997; Burkholder et al. 2011; Fukuoka et al. 2019; Piovano et al. 2020).”
Microplastics in the Marine Environment: Distribution, Interactions and Effects (2015, background): “Trophic transfer from prey items could be a pathway to larger individuals; loggerhead (Caretta caretta) and Kemp’s Ridley (Lepidochelys kempii) turtles are carnivores, feeding on crustaceans and bivalves (Bjorndal 1997), which ingest microplastics (e.g. Browne et al. 2008).”
