(3) Speaker’s comments
The coast of Japan is a nursery ground for sea turtle pups, but it is also used by humans as a fishing ground. Here, they are often caught as bycatch in fishing gear. How do green turtles that grow up in such an environment with the risk of human activities behave? In my lecture, I would like to talk about the relationship between the personality of green turtles and the differences in the environment in which they were raised, taking the differences in the way each individual behaves as a personality.
