Documented brevetoxin levels and sublethal health effects in nesting C. caretta.
Maternal plasma brevetoxins positively correlated with albumin and gamma-globulins.
Brevetoxins were found in eggs and hatchlings, suggesting maternal transfer.
Maternal brevetoxins significantly correlated with brevetoxins in hatchling livers.
Brevetoxins in marine turtles may be related to reproductive success.
