ABSTRACT
A comparative study of the hemoglobin concentrations, packed cell volumes (PCVs), mean corpuscular hemoglobin concentration (MCHC), plasma Fe++ and total plasma protein in olive ridley (Lepidochelys olivacea) and in hawksbill (Eretmochelys inbricata) sea turtles was carried out at Masirah Island, Arabian Sea. All the turtles examined were normal. There was no significant difference in all the hematological indices, total protein and Fe++ among the oviposited and non-oviposited turtles of the same specie or between the species. These similarities may signify that the two species have the same physiological response to stress under nesting condition for blood gas tensions and acid-base regulation.
