摘要：
We studied the beach fidelity of Olive Ridley Turtles (Lepidochelys olivacea) for three seasons at the Rushikulya rookery on the coast of Orissa in India between December and May (2003-2005). We monitored sporadic nesting and arribadas for tagged turtles. Multiple nesting by individual turtles and recapture of tagged turtles confirmed beach fidelity in Olive Ridley Turtles. The inter-nesting intervals ranged from 20-25 d and remigration intervals varied between 1-8 yr. There was an inter-seasonal shift in movement of Olive Ridley Turtles from Rushikulya rookery. It is possible that beach exchange is part of a complex phenomenon that Olive Ridley Turtles use to colonize new areas or even move to another beach altogether.
