Effects of Forced Diving on the Spleen and Hepatic Sinus in Northern Elephant Seal Pups

In phocid seals, an increase in hematocrit (Hct) accompanies diving and periods of apnea. The variability of phocid Hct suggests that the total red cell mass is not always in circulation, leading researchers to speculate on the means of blood volume partitioning. The histology and disproportionate s...
