棱皮龟数量的减少预示着对海洋生物多样性的威胁。一个基于我们对一个曾经很大的棱皮龟种群的评估的数学模型预测，不可持续的成年死亡率，显然是由于人类的捕鱼活动，将很快使这个种群灭绝。
The dwindling numbers of leatherback turtles are signalling a threat to biodiversity in the oceans. A mathematical model based on our assessment of a once-large leatherback population predicts that unsustainable adult mortality, apparently due to human fishing activity, will soon drive this population to extinction.
