These blood samples were used for: red blood cell counts (cans. 2.56 × 10⁶/mm³; scaup 2.45 × 10⁶/mm³; ring-necks 2.50 × 10⁶/mm³; bufflehead 2.64 × 10⁶/mm³), packed cell volume (cans. 52.2%; scaup 57.1%; ring-neck 49.1%; buffleheads 54.3%), total protein (cans. 4.4 g/100 ml; scaup 4.4 g/100 ml; ring-neck 3.5 g/100 ml; bufflehead 3.8 g/100 ml), erythrocyte measurements, and electrophoretic analysis of plasma and serum. Variations between individuals of the same species and sex were slight but a possible difference between male and female erythrocyte numbers and packed cell volumes was evident in the canvasback and scaup samples.</p></div> application/pdf 10.7589/0090-3558-8.2.115 en Wildlife Disease Association Some physiologic blood values of wild diving ducks article
