Acknowledgments
We would like to extend our thanks to Camagüey’s Industrial Fishery Enterprise (EPICAM in Spanish) for all of its logistical support,
as well to fishermen Jorge Luis Fals Sifontes and Miguel Camps Roura and their families for their invaluable help in the sampling
process and for the biological data collected. Our thanks goes to Peter Dutton for providing the annual haplotype frequencies in the
source population of Guadeloupe. The PhD thesis of EPB supporting the study was partly developed thanks to a fellowship obtained
from the Scholarships Program for Professors of Ibero-American Universities for the Completion of PhD Theses (2010 call), from
the Ibero-American University Association of Postgraduate (AUIP in Spanish). In addition, the research project
WWF-Canada "Population genetics of hawksbill
Eretmochelys imbricata
: new data for its conservation in Cuba and the Caribbean
region" supported part of the funding to obtain the genetic and morphometric data.
