Health Reference Intervals and Values for Common Bottlenose Dolphins (tursiops Truncatus), Indo-Pacific Bottlenose Dolphins (tursiops Aduncus), Pacific White-Sided Dolphins (lagenorhynchus Obliquidens), and Beluga Whales (delphinapterus Leucas)
This study reports comprehensive clinical pathology data for hematology, serum, and plasma biochemistry reference intervals for 174 apparently healthy common bottlenose dolphins (Tursiops truncatus) and reference values for 27 Indo-Pacific bottlenose dolphins (Tursiops aduncus), 13 beluga whales (De...
