Can Hematological Biomarkers Indicate Diagnoses and Prognosis in Stranded Harbor Seals (Phoca vitulina)?

open access: yesMarine Mammal Science, Volume 42, Issue 1, January 2026.
ABSTRACT Wildlife health assessments offer critical insights in applied ecological research, but their interpretation is often limited by missing complementary data. There is heightened need for such data for European harbor seals (Phoca vitulina vitulina) given their recent population decline.
