Haematological values were determined in 50 Rockhopper (Eudyptes crestatus), 19 Gentoo (Pygoscelis papua) and 12 Magellanic (Spheniscus magellanicus) penguins from various sites on the Falkland Islands. Adult Magellanic penguins had significantly lower haemoglobin (Hb) levels, packed cell volumes (PCV) and red cell counts (RBC) than adults of the other two species. Hb, PCV and RBC values were also lower in juvenile birds than in adults and lower in post-moult than in pre-moult adults. Comparison of findings in wild Rockhopper and Gentoo penguins with values obtained from captive birds showed slight but significant differences in Hb and mean cell haemoglobin concentration, and in the relative numbers of heterophils, lymphocytes, monocytes and eosinophils present.
对来自福克兰群岛不同地点的50只跳岩企鹅（冠企鹅）、19只巴布亚企鹅（巴布亚企鹅）和12只麦哲伦企鹅（麦哲伦环企鹅）进行了血液学指标测定。成年麦哲伦企鹅的血红蛋白（Hb）水平、红细胞压积（PCV）和红细胞计数（RBC）显著低于其他两个物种的成年企鹅。幼鸟的Hb、PCV和RBC值也低于成年鸟，换羽后的成年企鹅低于换羽前的成年企鹅。将野生跳岩企鹅和巴布亚企鹅的检测结果与圈养企鹅的数值进行比较，发现Hb和平均细胞血红蛋白浓度以及嗜中性粒细胞、淋巴细胞、单核细胞和嗜酸性粒细胞相对数量存在轻微但显著的差异。
