Documentation is reported for sea turtles overwintering on the sea bottom. Seri Indians have traditionally hunted nonmigrating dormant green turtles (Chelonia mydas) along the bottom of the Infiernillo Channel in the Gulf of California. Mexican fishermen independently discovered dormant turtles during winter 1972-1973, and with new hunting technologies are rapidly decimating these unusual stocks.
有文献记载了海龟在海底越冬的情况。塞里印第安人传统上会在加利福尼亚湾因菲耶尼罗海峡底部捕猎不迁徙的休眠绿海龟（绿蠵龟）。1972年至1973年冬季，墨西哥渔民独立发现了休眠海龟，并且借助新的捕猎技术，正在迅速减少这些独特种群的数量。
