Sarmento, Martha Chaves, Andrea Retamosa, Mónica Ruepert, Clemens Jiménez, Ricardo Blanco, Kinndle Pacific green turtle Chelonia mydas agassizii toxic pollutants clomazone FP tortuga verde del Pacífico Chelonia mydas agassizii contaminantes tóxicos clomazona FP The development of management strategies for the conservation of Golfo Dulce and of sea turtles requires inputs related to the current health status of the populations of the turtles. Several studies have linked the clinical manifestation of diseases such as fibropapillomatosis (FP) in sea turtles with environmental stressors and anthropogenic activities, which may result in the presence of contaminants and environmental degradation of foraging and nesting areas. This paper was prepared considering this link and as an environmental characterization of a foraging site based on the state of health of the Pacific green turtle (Chelonia mydas agassizii) and the environmental conditions of this site (a foraging site) in Golfo Dulce, Costa Rica, between 2010 and 2012. To this end, the physical condition of 77 turtles, the presence of fibropapillomatosis (FP) and the molecular detection of CFPHV were determined. An analysis was performed considering the following factors: land use and population density near the study area, as well as the presence of pesticides in samples of marine sediment, water and seagrass, and blood from 10 turtles. One of the results indicates that the general condition of the gulf is preserved, solely with the presence of rice crops near the area and a sector with a significantly growing population. The study determined the presence of the herbicide clomazone as well as the good health of the turtles studied, apparently free from FP. However, the possible FP casual agent was molecularly detected in 26% (20) of the sampled individuals. With this research, Golfo Dulce was recognized as an important foraging site with adequate conditions for the preservation and protection of the Pacific Green Sea Turtle. El desarrollo de estrategias de manejo, que permitan la conservación de las tortugas marinas y del Golfo Dulce, requiere de insumos relacionados con la condición actual de la salud de estas poblaciones. Diversos estudios han relacionado la manifestación clínica de enfermedades como la fibropapilomatosis (FP) en tortugas marinas con estresores ambientales y actividades antropogénicas, los cuales pueden ocasionar la presencia de contaminantes y el deterioro ambiental de zonas de forrajeo y anidación. Al considerar este ligamen, se desarrolló este estudio, el cual constituye una caracterización ambiental de un sitio de forrajeo, a partir del estado de la salud de la tortuga verde del pacífico (Chelonia mydas agassizii) y de las condiciones ambientales de este sitio (un sitio de forrajeo) en el Golfo Dulce, Costa Rica, entre el 2010 y 2012. Para ello, se determinó el estado físico de 77 tortugas, la presencia de FP y la detección molecular de CFPHV. Se analizó el uso de suelo y la densidad poblacional cercana a la zona de estudio; así como la presencia de plaguicidas en muestras de sedimento marino, agua y pasto marino; también, en sangre de 10 tortugas muestreadas. Entre los resultados obtenidos, destaca el hecho de que la condición general del golfo es conservada, únicamente con la presencia de cultivos de arroz cercanos a la zona y un sector en crecimiento poblacional importante. Se determinó la presencia de un herbicida, clomazona, y el buen estado de salud de los quelonios estudiados, en apariencia libres de FP. Sin embargo, se detectó, molecularmente, el posible agente causal de FP en 26% (20) de los individuos muestreados. Con esta investigación se logró reconocer, al Golfo Dulce, como un importante sitio de forrajeo para la tortuga verde del Pacífico, el cual cuenta con las condiciones adecuadas para su conservación y protección.
