Baseline hematologic and plasma biochemical analytes provide insight into wildlife health.
In recent years, blood analytes have been used to infer foraging strategies and nutritional …

We documented blood biochemistry and haematology of healthy loggerhead turtles (Caretta
caretta) in the Northwest (NW) Atlantic in order to establish clinical reference intervals (RIs) …

Green turtles (Chelonia mydas) are unique because hatchlings and pelagic juveniles are
carnivorous, whereas later life stages become primarily herbivorous. Although this dietary …

Background: Plasma biochemical and hematologic variables are important in the
management of endangered sea turtles, such as loggerheads. However, studies on blood …

The health status of 83 loggerhead sea turtles (Caretta caretta; 39 foraging, 31 nesting, and
13 stranded turtles) was analyzed using physical examinations, hematology, plasma …

Leatherback turtles (Dermochelys coriacea) are critically endangered, primarily threatened
by the overharvesting of eggs, fisheries entanglement, and coastal development. The Pacific …

Sea turtle health is an important component of conservation since these taxa is susceptible
to infectious diseases that can cause illness increasing its mortality. Threats to health …

Leatherback sea turtles (Dermochelys coriacea) are the most endangered of the seven
species of sea turtles. The health status of leatherbacks is largely unknown, although the …

Loggerhead sea turtles (Caretta caretta) are opportunistic carnivores that feed primarily on
benthic invertebrates and fish. Sea turtle rehabilitation requires provision of a species …

Plasma biochemistry profiles aid health assessment of marine turtles, but knowledge of the
influence of regional biological factors (eg, habitat, diet) on marine turtle blood plasma …
