The normal haematology of great skuas (Catharacta skua) in the wild

The normal haematology of great skuas (Catharacta skua) in the wild Routine haematological investigations were carried out on 102 wild adult great skuasCatharacta skua. No sex- or age-related differences were detected in any of the parameters measured. There are very few sets of haematological reference ranges published for seabirds from the northeastern Atlantic. Given the recent pollution threats in this region, the reference ranges presented for this species could be a valuable tool in future conservation efforts. http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png Comparative Clinical Pathology Springer Journals

Abstract

Routine haematological investigations were carried out on 102 wild adult great skuasCatharacta skua. No sex- or age-related differences were detected in any of the parameters measured. There are very few sets of haematological reference ranges published for seabirds from the northeastern Atlantic. Given the recent pollution threats in this region, the reference ranges presented for this species could be a valuable tool in future conservation efforts.
