Abstract: |
These data were collected during necropsies of turtles cold-stunned in St. Joseph Bay, Florida, during January, 2010 |
Notes: |
There are a number of fields that would appear to be numeric but are represented as character because sometimes the value that was entered was something like <1. There are also other fields in which it would seem that expected values would be yes or no, but once in a while there was a comment in that field.
