HEMATOLOGIC AND BIOCHEMICAL VALUES OF FREE-RANGING HAWKSBILL SEA TURTLES () IN GLOVER'S REEF, BELIZE.

Blood samples were obtained from the dorsal cervical sinus of free-ranging hawksbill sea turtles () collected at Glover's Reef Marine Reserve, 42 km east of the coast of Belize, for hematology and plasma biochemistry analysis. Unknown sex, subadult turtles ( = 32) were sampled in 2013 ( = 22) and 2017 ( = 10). To provide a more robust data set, parameters that did not have statistically significant differences were pooled and treated as a single population.
