Hematological and serum biochemical values in five captive finless porpoises (Neophocaena phocaenoides) were examined, and abnormalities of aspartate aminotransferase, alanine aminotransferase, lactate dehydrogenase and γ-glutamyltransferase were determined in a male finless porpoise. The numbers of white and red blood cells in pregnant female porpoises were significantly lower than those in nonpregnant ones (P<0.05). Significantly higher values of serum creatinine were observed in summer when compared with the values in winter (P<0.01). Abnormalities of hepatic enzymes could improve with administration of ursodeoxycholic acid and a hepatic hydrolysate drug.
