title: Reference Intervals for Serum Biochemistries of Molting Pacific Black Brant ( Branta bernicla nigricans) in Northern Alaska, USA.
abstract: We determined reference intervals for nine serum biochemistries in samples from 329 molting, after-hatch-year, Pacific Black Brant ( Branta bernicla nigricans) in Alaska, US. Cholesterol and nonesterified fatty acids differed by sex, but no other differences were noted.
