In the Maldives, at the heart of the Indian Ocean, scores of turtles are being found with wounded flippers （脚蹼） and deep scars in their shells．The cause is clear the turtles are becoming trapped in “ghost” fishing nets that have either been lost or abandoned．

The turtles that don’t drown are then attacked mercilessly by accomplices （共犯）．The injuries of the turtles’ flippers show clear signs of being bitten off by sharks, while the shell damage points to a sharp instrument the beaks of birds and the claws of crabs．The nets themselves cut through the turtle’s flesh, leaving deep wounds．

But what the investigators have not yet found is the culprits （元凶）behind the crime and the motive．“It’s OK to keep finding these turtles and keep sewing them up, but it’s just going to keep happening． So we need to try to find out why the nets are being lost,” says Dr Jill Hudgins, a scientist from the Seamarc consultancy．

The turtles are the Olive Ridley variety which live in the open ocean and Maldivian fishermen don’t use nets, which points the investigation abroad．Hudgins’ team has now made a database of more than 40 net types, detailing the net size and the thread diameter．

A recent breakthrough found a net manufacturer’s label Garware, an Indian company．Hudgins has now sent images of the nets and severely injured turtles to the company and awaits their reply．“We want to scare them a bit,” she says, “and then get their help in finding solutions．”

If it is because the fishermen do not have access to disposal facilities, she says, that could be set up．Or if boats fishing illegally deserted nets when challenged by patrols at sea, that could be addressed too．Hudgins’ team has also hooked up with Ghost Nets Australia, which successfully tracked nets back to fishermen in northern Australia．

A．the fishing nets B．the polluted water

C．their natural enemies D．the sharp shells

B．find the cause why the nets are deserted in the sea

D．sew the wounded flippers and shells of the turtles up

A．They show the process of the investigation．

B．They are mainly about the results of the investigation．

C．An Indian Company should take the responsibility．

D．How they find the source of the lost nets．

35．What can be inferred from the passage ?

A．The nets cut through the turtle’s flesh, leaving them dead．

B．The native fishermen are not to blame for the injured turtles．
