Hematology and serum chemistry in stranded and wildcaught harbor seals in central California:Reference intervals, predictors of survival, and parameters affecting blood variables
Blood was collected from stranded harbor seal (Phoca vitulina) pups at admission (n=64) and release (n=45) from rehabilitation in 2007 and 2008 and from wild-caught harbor seal pups, subadults, and adults (n=110) in 2004, 2007, and 2008. Blood values measured at the time of admission were not predic...
