(2010); combined data from directly captured and entangled male and female leatherbacks (not significantly different) from Georgia, USA and Massachusetts, USA.eEstimated from blood cell counts.fSignificant difference between directly captured (D, n = 11) and entangled (E, n = 7) leatherbacks.gSignificant difference between male and female leatherbacks.hMonocytes (%) = ±SD: Directly captured = 2±1 (n = 11), Entangled = 7±8 (n = 7), Male = 1±2 (n = 9), Female = 4±5 (n = 4); Range: Directly captured = 0–5, Entangled = 0–13, Male = 0–5, Female = 1–11.
