Summary
This dataset contains initial data from head-started alligator snapping turtles released by Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries (LDWF) from November 2015 to October 2016. In addition, it contains data from a five-day trapping effort at each of seven release sites by the United States Geological Survey (USGS) from late June to early October 2018. Trapping was completed using hoop nets of three sizes. We recaptured eight head-started alligator snapping turtles as well as four individuals native to the creek.

Glorioso, B.M., Muse, L.J., Hillard, C.J., Maldonado, B.R., Streeter, J., Battaglia, C.D., and Waddle, J.H., 2020, A Trapping Survey Targeting Head-Started Alligator Snapping Turtles in Southwest Louisiana: Journal of Fish and Wildlife Management, v. 11, no. 2, p. 572–582, https://doi.org/10.3996/JFWM-20-009.
Data was collected to assess the status of head-started alligator snapping turtles released by LDWF, specifically at Bundick Creek located in southwest Louisiana. Data was also collected on any turtles native to the creek to assess the turtle population in general. We used data to assess growth, movement, and survival in head-started alligator snapping turtles.
