RESUMO:

Sea turtles are very important sentinels for One Health and for the monitoring of the ecosystem these animals inhabit. In the Potiguar Basin are registered the five species of sea turtles that occur in Brazil. Through the Beach Monitoring Project of the Potiguar Basin (PMP-BP), the live stranded animals are sent to the Center of Rehabilitation of Marine Fauna of the Cetáceos da Costa Branca Project of the Rio Grande do Norte State University (PCCB-UERN) for recovery and investigation of standings and mortality. This study aimed to characterize epidemiological aspects of stranding and mortality of sea turtles under rehabilitation in 2020. Third-four (34) strandings events were identified and included the species Chelonia mydas, Lepidochelys olivacea and Caretta caretta, among juveniles (n=29) and female adults (n=5). Stretch E (n=19) had the highest record of strandings, followed by stretch B (n=8), A (n=4), C (n=3) and D (n=0). The temporal distribution of the strandings occurred with predominance between October 2019 and March 2020 and October and December 2020. Beaches, mangrove, river margin, sea and river were that environments of occurrence of individuals sent to rehabilitation. Solid wastes (n=4), bycatch (n=2), entanglement (n =1), complications associated with fibropapilomatosis (FP) (n=7), physical trauma (n=9), neurological disorders (n=1), buoyancy disorders (n=3) and indetermined (n=7) were the causes of stranding characterized. Causes of mortality related to the ingestion of solid wastes (n=3) were gastrointestinal perforation, obstruction and compaction; to complications associated with fibropapilomatosis were (n=3) pulmonary nodules associated with septic shock and respiratory insufficiency, hypovolemic shock and an infection scenario; causes of mortality related to physical trauma (n=4) were systemic infection scenario with initial apparent involvement of the respiratory system, renal failure, cardiorespiratory arrest and hepatic encephalopathy; to buoyancy disorder (n=1) were generalized infection with the main involvement of the liver; and to indetermined (n=6) were an acute infectious pulmonary scenario, complications of drownings, as lungs with emphysematous aspect, ingestion of fishing artifact, septic shock and endotoxemia predisposing to hepatopathy. The findings on solid wastes included plastic and fishing artifact, to bycatch and entanglement fishing artifact and physical lesions. Tumors of FP were identified in eyes, head, neck, limbs, cervical and inguinal regions; physical trauma were characterized in abrasions, marcs, injuries, bone exposure, perforation, absence of limbs, necrosis, cranial injury. Epibionts, such as barnacles, mud, or algae, ectoparasites, such as leech and leech eggs were observed in some animals admitted into the Rehabilitation Center. All categories presented a release rate (n=17), but different rates of mortality were observed. Sea turtle health surveillance through the One health Approach can reveal the infaces with which sea turtle health connects. This action for conservation can provide knowledge for a more detailed characterization of stranding and mortality occurrences, information for access of ecosystem health, contribute to health surveillance in One Health and with the Objectives of the Sustainable Development and multiprofissionality for prevention, control and mitigatory measurements.
