Abstract

Hematology and blood chemistry studies were undertaken on 41 sea otters during a 3-yr period. The results are compared to corresponding values for other mustelids and diving marine mammals. Results showed the otters apparent adaptation to its marine environment by having values that were similar to those of pinnipeds and cetaceans.
