BLOOD PROPERTIES OF AQUATIC VERTEBRATES: I. TOTAL BLOOD VOLUME OF THE ATLANTIC COD, GADUS MORHUA L.

The volume of whole blood and plasma has been calculated for 22 specimens of the Atlantic cod (Gadus morhua L.) using a fluorescein dye. A definite correlation was found among blood weight, blood volume, and body weight. The whole blood was 2.4% and the plasma 1.8% of the total live weight of the fi...

Description
Summary:The volume of whole blood and plasma has been calculated for 22 specimens of the Atlantic cod (Gadus morhua L.) using a fluorescein dye. A definite correlation was found among blood weight, blood volume, and body weight. The whole blood was 2.4% and the plasma 1.8% of the total live weight of the fish.
