Common Eider Blood Chemistry Data, Alaska, 2004-2006

This data set contains information on blood chemistry and hematological parameters of captive Pacific Common Eiders (Somateria mollissima v-nigrum) for reference periods and after satellite transmitter implantation. These data were collected for health assessments, to evaluate seasonal changes in regularly measured biomarkers, to assess the physiological responses to dive conditioning, and to measure responses to surgical implantation of a satellite transmitter.
