Previous issue date: 2014-03-19 / Coordena??o de Aperfei?oamento de Pessoal de N?vel Superior / This work aimed to study the diversity and distribution of marine sea turtles stranded in Potiguar Basin, Rio Grande do Norte, as well as aspects related to feeding behavior associated with human impacts. The study was conducted through the analysis of data from stranded animals, recorded in a daily monitoring in an area bounded on the north by the municipality of Aquiraz, in the state of Cear?, and the east by the municipality of Caicara do Norte, in the state of Rio Grande do Norte. Stranded dead animals were necropsied and for the analysis of the diet of animals, esophagus, stomach and intestines were fixed in 10% formalin and after that, the stomach contents were sorted and stored in 70% alcohol. Representative fragments of these organs were removed for making histological slides, with a view to histological characterization of the digestive tract. 2.046 occurrences of turtles were recorded during the period from 01/01/2010 to 31/12/2012. The Chelonia mydas species showed the highest number of records and it was observed in 66.81 % (N = 1,367) of cases; followed by Eretmochelys imbricata with 4.45 % (N = 91) and by Lepidochelys olivacea with 1.22% (N = 25). The Caretta caretta and Dermochelys coriacea species were, respectively, 0.93 % (N = 19) and 0.05 % (N = 1) records of strandings. In 26.54 % of cases, it was not possible to identify the species. Regarding the spatial distribution, the stretch A was the one that had the highest number of strandings and a larger number of records were registered in the warm months of the year. The dietary analysis showed that C. mydas fed preferentially on algae; C. caretta had a diet with a predominance of the item "coral?s fragments" and E. imbricata species showed preference for an animal origin material. Related to this anthropic interaction, 57.14 % (n = 76) of animals that died at the rehabilitation s base, showed cause of death due to complications from ingesting debris. According to the data presented, the Potiguar Basin presents itself as an area with important diversity and distribution of marine sea turtle as well is characterized as a feeding and nidification area for these species / Este trabalho objetivou estudar a diversidade e distribui??o das tartarugas marinhas encalhadas na Bacia Potiguar, RN, bem como os aspectos relacionados ao comportamento alimentar associados aos impactos antr?picos. O estudo foi realizado com animais encalhados, registrados por monitoramento di?rio, na ?rea delimitada a noroeste pelo munic?pio de Aquiraz, Cear?, e a leste pelo munic?pio de Cai?ara do Norte, RN. Os animais encalhados mortos foram necropsiados e coletados es?fago, est?mago e intestinos, fixados em formol a 10%, sendo posteriormente o conte?do estomacal triado e armazenado. Destes mesmos ?rg?os foram retirados fragmentos para confec??o de l?minas histol?gicas. Foram registradas 2.046 ocorr?ncias de tartarugas marinhas durante o per?odo de 01/01/2010 a 31/12/2012. A esp?cie Chelonia mydas apresentou o maior n?mero de registros (66,81%, N = 1.367); seguido de Eretmochelys imbricata (4,45%, N = 91) e Lepidochelys olivacea com 1,22% (N = 25). Caretta caretta e Dermochelys coriacea apresentaram, respectivamente, 0,93% (N = 19) e 0,05% (N = 1) registros. Tanto a distribui??o espacial, como a temporal, variaram evidenciando maior ocorr?ncia de encalhes no trecho A- Grossos-RN/Icapu?-CE e um maior n?mero de registros nos meses quentes do ano. A an?lise da dieta das tartarugas demonstrou que Chelonia mydas alimentou-se preferencialmente de algas; Caretta caretta de resto calc?rio e Moluscos e E. imbricata de material de origem animal. Dos animais que vieram a ?bito, 57,14% (n = 76) apresentaram como causa mortis ? ingest?o de detritos. A an?lise da histologia demonstra que o es?fago apresenta papilas esof?gicas, revestidas de epit?lio pavimentoso estratificado queratinizado, igualmente a mucosa deste ?rg?o. Aus?ncia de sub mucosa e camada muscular com m?sculos estriados e liso em diferentes dire??es. Est?mago e intestino apresentam as quatro camadas: mucosa, submucosa, muscular e serosa, com destaque para as fossetas g?stricas no est?mago e a presen?a de vilos nos intestinos. De acordo com os dados apresentados, a Bacia Potiguar apresenta-se como uma ?rea de grande diversidade de esp?cies de tartarugas marinhas, sendo caracterizada como ?rea de alimenta??o para essas esp?cies
