"While conducting statistical analyses and preparing graphs for the paper by Caillouet et al.l/ on growth of six year-classes (1978-1983) of captive-reared Kemp's ridley sea turtle, Lepidochelys kempi, we prepared the graphs in this technical memorandum. They were too numerous to include in a journal article, so we reproduced them herein. The turtles were reared as part of the Kemp's ridley sea turtle head start research project (Klima and McVey, 1981; Caillouet, 1984; Fontaine et al., 1985)"--Introduction.
