Abstract
The Magnificent Frigatebird Fregata magnificens is prevalent along the Brazilian coast and is classified as Least Concern by the IUCN. Hematological and biochemical analyses can be used to assist in the diagnosis of diseases and to monitor the population of this species and others, but the scarcity of species-specific reference parameters hinders the interpretation of acquired information. To help alleviate this situation, we describe reference values for hemograms and the biochemistry of Magnificent Frigatebirds found on the coast of the State of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, 2017-2018.
