| Abstract: | The study investigated the possible incidence of fibropapillomatosis in marine turtle reared in captivity at the SPAMAST Marine Research Station in New Argao, Malita, Davao del Sur. Pinkish lesions similar to fibropapilloma described earlier by Jacobson et al. (1989) were observed at the orbital area of the eye of a five year old olive ridley, indicative of fibropapillomatosis. The pinkish lesion progressed to 2 mm in three months time. Although confirmatory tests have not been conducted, the lesion is indicative of the incidence of fibropapillomatosis in marine turtles reared in captivity in Southern Philippines. |
