Posted by: z10silver at Tue Jul 29 19:22:06 2008 [ Report Abuse ] [ Email Message ] [ Show All Posts by z10silver ] Although the common snapping turtle is generally a freshwater species, some coastal populations show evidence of adaption to elevated salinites (Dunson, 1986). For my summer research project at the Wetlands Institute I have been catching snapping turtles as well as diamondback terrapins in a local tidal creek (both by hand and with traps) and recording the salinities in which I find them. In addition, I am comparing the growth rates for hatchlings of each species when reared in water at different salinities. I present my findings here at the institute on Aug. 7th (event is open to the public). Here are some photos...much more to come.
