About Sadie
Species:
Hawksbill sea turtle (Eretmochelys imbricata) Transfer Patient (EI23-54)
Sadie was transferred from Miami Seaquarium. Dr. Barron removed free air from her body cavity (coelomocentesis) and moved her to a larger tank to see if that would help with her buoyancy disorder. The larger tank and removing free air did not make any significant difference. Next steps include adding a weight on her top shell (carapace) to counteract her buoyancy disorder.
