        "abstract": "Post-hatching levels of plasma estradiol (E2), Progesterone (Pro), testosterone (T), Luteinizing Hormone (LH), Follicle-Stimulating Hormone (FSH) and thyroxine (T4) were monitored in hatchlings of Green Turtle, Chelonia mydas immediately after emergence. Eggs were collected at random from 5 nests. The eggs were placed in incubators 16 hr after oviposition set at 26-27oC for male producing hatchlings and at 30-31oC for female producing hatchlings. Blood was collected after sacrifice. Chemiluminescence immunoassay was used for determination of plasma hormone levels, using Beckman Coulter Access-2-immunoassay and reagents (Beckman Coulter, Inc.). Sex was determined from histological examination of gonads. In males, plasma T levels were positively correlated with temperature (rho = 0.67, P"
