  • Penetrating ocular injuries from Fish-Hooks.
    International Ophthalmology, 2004
    Co-Authors: F Angela Knox, Clara E Mcavoy, Susan E Johnston, C Chan, John H Bryars
    Abstract:

    Purpose: To report four cases of penetrating ocular injuries from Fish-Hooks. Methods: The case records of four patients who attended the ophthalmology department with ocular Fish-hook injuries were reviewed. Results: Individuals were male, between the ages of 9 and 67. All cases had anterior segment involvement and the Hooks were extracted by backing them out through the primary incision. Final visual outcomes were 6/12 or better. Conclusions: These results suggest that a good visual outcome can be achieved with the less published back-out method of Fish-hook extraction. Obviously the technique of choice used for removal of the hook will vary depending on the case and perhaps more important than the method of hook extraction is the need for prompt surgical repair.

  • ingestion of marine debris by juvenile sea turtles in coastal florida habitats
    Marine Pollution Bulletin, 1994
    Co-Authors: Karen A Bjorndal, Alan B Bolten, Cynthia J Lagueux
    Abstract:

    Abstract Digestive tracts from 51 sea turtle carcasses that washed ashore on the east and west coasts of Florida were examined for the presence of anthropogenic debris. Debris was found in 24 of 43 green turtles (Chelonia mydas), 0 of 7 Kemp's ridleys (Lepidochelys kempi), and 1 of 1 loggerhead (Caretta caretta). Ingested debris included plastic, monofilament line, Fish Hooks, rubber, aluminium foil, and tar. For green turtles, ingestion of debris was not significantly affected by location of stranding, season, or body size. Debris ingestion was significantly affected by sex of the turtle. Frequency of occurrence of debris was significantly higher in females, but differences in the mass or volume of ingested debris were not significantly different between the sexes. Although frequency of occurrence of debris was high in green turtles (56%), the mass and volume of the debris were small—mean 0.52% of wet mass of gut contents and mean 0.72% of the volume of gut contents, respectively. However, small quantities of debris can kill sea turtles; the death of at least two turtles in this study resulted from debris ingestion. The debris in the two turtles represented 4.6% and 5.8% of wet mass and 3.2% and 9.8% of volume of the gut contents, respectively. In both turtles, the debris represented inflated percentages because the turtles had not been feeding normally prior to death because the debris affected gut function. Sublethal effects of debris ingestion (e.g. absorption of toxins) has an unknown—but potentially great—negative effect on the demography of sea turtles.
