Hawai’i’s sea turtles are afflicted with chronic and often lethal tumors caused by consuming non-native algae, “superweeds,” along coastlines where nutrient pollution is unchecked. The disease that causes these tumors is considered the leading cause of death in endangered green sea turtles. The new research was just published in the scientific journal PeerJ.<\/p>\n

Turtles that graze on blooms of invasive seaweeds end up with a diet that is rich in a particular amino acid, arginine, which promotes the virus that creates the tumors. Scientists at the University of Hawai’i at M\u0101noa and their NOAA colleague estimate that adult turtles foraging at high-nutrient grazing sites increase their arginine intake 17\u201326 g daily, up to 14 times the background level.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":0,"featured_media":0,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":"","_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"class_list":["post-3626","news","type-news","status-publish","hentry"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\nSea Turtles in Hawaii getting tumors and we are the cause -
