| 1982 | Blood chemistry of the West Indian manatee (Trichechus manatus). Jour. Wildl. Diseases 18(2): 229-234. 3 tabs. Apr. 1982. –Blood of 8 wild manatees from Blue Spring, Florida, and 2 captives was similar to samples analyzed by White et al. (1976), but with increased anion gaps, protein, and albumin/globulin ratios. Some values were probably affected by the animals' struggling. A narrow range of serum osmolality may reflect the Blue Spring population's freshwater habitat. | ||
