摘要
We report the first confirmed occurrence of a Lepidochelys olivacea in the Mediterranean Sea based on the study of an individual stranded on a beach in May 2014 in the town of Oropesa del Mar (40 degrees 05'32 '' N, 0 degrees 08'02 '' E), province of Castellon, East Spain. Morphological and genetic analyses were used to confirm species identification. The individual had a sequence that matched the 470-bp Lepidochelys olivacea haplotype F (Genbank accession number: AF051773) found in several Atlantic populations. This is one of the northernmost known occurrences of olive ridleys in the world and is the first report of this species in the Mediterranean Sea.
