Females used were slightly smaller (mean ± standard error (SE) carapace size 35.3 ± 0.5 mm, N = 30) than males (37.1 ± 0.5 mm, N = 30).
The averages with standard deviations for carapace breadth, total weight, and major claw weight of each species collected are presented in Table 1.
There are turtles with carapace lengths (CL, the standard way to measure turtles) of less than 10 cm (4 inches), as in the flattened musk turtle (Sternotherus depressus), and of more than 1.5 metres, as in the leatherback sea turtle (Dermochelys coriacea).
The total weight, claw weight, and carapace width was averaged within each species and is given with its corresponding standard deviation.
