Caretta caretta (Cheloniidae, Cryptodira) is a species of turtle considered ‘flagship species’ in the Mediterranean Sea. Unfortunately, circular marine currents and semi-enclosed configuration Sea encourage accumulation pollutants (metals, pesticides, etc.) emitted by human activities. Tunisia suffers particularly from coastal urbanisation industrial development. Metal concentrations (Ag, Al, As, Cd, Co, Cr, Cu, Fe, Mn, Ni, Pb, Zn) were measured distinct tissues (heart, kidney, liver, lung, muscle) loggerhead turtles stranded Gulf Gabès (Tunisia) to estimate pollution levels this emblematic species. High arsenic cadmium found turtles. Therefore, differential metals was tissues. For example, liver appears be preferential organ for copper, iron, silver zinc. In contrast, cobalt more concentrated kidneys, while arsenic, chromium nickel mainly muscles. Antioxidant enzyme responses (catalase, GPx SOD) lipid peroxidation expressed kidneys than
