CLEARWATER BEACH — The Clearwater Marine Aquarium released a 100-pound rehabilitated loggerhead sea turtle named Kreacher on Tuesday after treating her for gastrointestinal problems.

Kreacher was rescued near the Sandpearl Reseort on May 8 when she was found floating and distressed with moderate edema, a condition in which fluid collects in body cavities and tissues. A CT scan found shells in her esophagus and gastrointestinal tract, causing her buoyancy problems and discomfort.

Aquarium workers treated her with a regimen including a diet of squid and shrimp, and she was released into the gulf Tuesday with a clean bill of health.

Kreacher is the second sea turtle the aquarium has released with a satellite tag, allowing researchers to study her migratory, feeding and mating patterns. That information will help environmental workers concentrate their conservation efforts on the locations where they're most needed.
