Description
Elasmobranchs (fish, rays, and sharks) undergo situations that may cause them stress in their natural habitat. Stress can be induced in elasmobranchs by habitat degrading, predator-prey interactions, and injuries. To quantify the overall physiological stress level of the elasmobranchs, blood biomarkers including pH, lactate, glucose, hematocrit, and osmolality can be measured.
