Blood biochemistry and hematological reference values of nesting female Olive ridley turtles (Lepidochelys olivacea) at "La Escobilla" Sanctuary, Mexico
The hematological and blood biochemistry reference values of nesting Olive ridley turtle at “La Escobilla” Sanctuary, México are established to establish the hematological and blood biochemistry reference values (RV) of this species.
Abstract
Constant stressors have caused diseases due to immunosuppression in marine organisms, such as sea turtles. Blood biochemistry and hematology analyses are essential tools that provide information on the physiological status of any organisms, facilitating the detection of alterations in the health status. The objective of this study was to establish the hematological and blood biochemistry reference values (RV) of nesting Olive ridley turtle (Lepidochelys olivacea) at “La Escobilla” Sanctuary, México. Blood samples were collected in two periods. Plasma biochemistry values and hematologic characteristics (packed cell volume, white blood cell counts, red blood cell count, microhematocrit, and hemoglobin level) were measured. The RV obtained in this study may be useful for clinical assessment of health and disease of wild nesting Olive ridley turtles in “La Escobilla” Sanctuary, contributing to conservation of this species.
Hematologic and biochemical parameters, including red blood cell indices, white blood cell counts and differentials, as well as blood chemistry values such as proteins, liver enzymes, metabolites, and minerals, were evaluated and summarized as baseline data.

ABSTRACT Background and Aim: Spotted scat (Scatophagus argus) is a euryhaline teleost of increasing importance in aquaculture, ornamental fisheries, and environmental monitoring across the Indo-Pacific region. Hematological evaluation is a valuable tool for assessing fish health, physiological status, and environmental...
BACKGROUND
The mangrove horseshoe crab (Carcinoscorpius rotundicauda), a species thriving in the muddy brackish waters of Cox's Bazar, holds significant ecological and biomedical value. Hematological and biochemical analyses can serve as a valuable diagnostic tool for assessing health; however, reports remain limited f...
