ABSTRACT
Over the past decade, an information explosion has occurred in the field of veterinary clinical pathology. This is partially due to impressive technological advances in diagnostic equipment and analytical techniques, which are influencing and contributing to our knowledge of marine mammal clinical pathology. Marine mammal clinical laboratory medicine has also advanced. Baseline hematological, serum analyte, microbiological, cytological, and other specialized clinicopathological parameters have been established. During the last 10 years, new molecular techniques for disease diagnosis have also emerged.
