Resumen:
Mineral elements are inorganic substances some present in body tissues and fluids necessary for the maintenance of certain physicochemical processes essential to life. Pinnipeds,like other marine mammal species, obtain their required minerals primarily from the diet. Often, diseases are associated with an imbalance of the electrolyte homeostasis causing changes in blood chemistry.Therefore, reference intervals are a critical diagnostic tool used in the care of stranded animals and for population health investigations. In marine mammals from natural colonies, the information about essential elements in blood fractions is limited, and most reports refer to whole blood.
