Haemotological characterization of Antarctic fish blood from Antarctic fish and the giant isopod

Entry ID: K012_1978_1980_NZ_2

[ Update this Record ]

Summary

Abstract: Blood samples were taken from 8 Antarctic Notothenioids (e.g. Pagothenia borchgrevinki, Trematomus hansoni, T. centronotus, T. bernacchii, T. newnesi, Dissostichus mawsoni) and one species each of the Bathydraconidae, Harpagiferidae and Zoarcidae (Gymnodraco acuticeps) and from the giant isopod Glyptonotus and examined with regard to their haematology and erythrocyte function to better understand ...
