Analysis of Circulating Fatty Acid Profiles in Free-Ranging and Managed Care Marine Toads (<i>Rhinella marina</i>) with a Comparison of Whole-Blood Vial and Whole-Blood Dried Blood Spot Card Analyses

Analysis of Circulating Fatty Acid Profiles in Free-Ranging and Managed Care Marine Toads (<i>Rhinella marina</i>) with a Comparison of Whole-Blood Vial and Whole-Blood Dried Blood Spot Card Analyses

This study provides novel data on circulating concentrations of whole-blood fatty acids (FAs) in marine toads (<i>Rhinella marina)</i> via dried blood spot (DBS) card technology as a potential amphibian model species. Free-ranging (n = 10) animals were compared to managed populations fed...
