We established reference intervals for blood biochemistry and haematology of loggerhead turtles captured off the Mid-Atlantic coast of the USA. This assessment of blood variables in healthy, wild loggerhead turtles allows for comparisons with turtles impacted by anthropogenic and environmental threats, as well as turtles sampled in different habitats and life stages.
