Özet
This study examined the effect of variations in the water characteristics (dissolved oxygen, pH, conductivity and temperature) of the biotopes of freshwater turtles (Emys orbicularis and Mauremys rivulata) collected from different localities in Canakkale, Turkey on the blood parameters and put forward the variations in blood parameters for survival during wet and dry periods. According to the water quality of their biotopes, differences were detected in the erythrocyte and leukocyte counts of the species E. orbicularis and in the erythrocyte and leukocyte counts as well as in the MCV (mean cell volume) and MCH (mean cell hemoglobin) values in M. rivulata. In the species E. orbicularis, differences were detected in the biochemical sense in total protein and urea quantities between dry and wet periods.
