title: [The assessment of the status of bottlenose dolphins Tursiops truncatus in the period after their capture].
abstract: Blood (eosinophil count and glucose content) and heart rate parameters were studied for assessment of individual responses and level of stress reaction of recently captured bottle-nosed dolphins Tursiops truncatus. Cross-tabulation analysis was carried out of the physiological parameters and the following process of adaptation to captivity. The normal level of stress response in contrast to excessive or abnormal responses were of the best predictive value for adaptation and survival of the animals. Correlation was found between the blood system parameters and heart rate variability in stress response assessment.
