However, the levels of gelatin in the feed formulations for this species were not optimized. Here, 2-month-old juvenile leatherback sea turtles (n = 3 per treatment, 393-394 g initial weight) were given feed formulations containing 2%, 4%, and 6% of gelatin by weight (designated 2G, 4G, and 6G, respectively). Survival, growth, and feed utilization of head-started leatherback sea turtles were monitored for 8 weeks. Nonlethal techniques were used to assess nutrient availability (fecal digestive enzyme activities and fecal thermal properties) and health status (carapace elemental composition and hematological parameters).
