To measure the hatch success (percentage of turtles that hatched from their eggs) each turtle nest is excavated after all hachlinks left naturally to sea. Occasionally some hatchlings are found still alife in the nest. Those turtels are measured and weighed before released to sea. In this case it is a Hawksbill sea turtle's (Eretmochelys imbricata) nest. | Messen der Körperlänge eines Hatchlings (zusätzlich zu: Carapace-Länge, Gewicht, und Crawling-speed in Richtung Meer) zum Erfassen der Hatchling-Fitness (jeweils von min 10 Hatchlingen pro Nest gemessen).
