Investigation of serum thyroid hormones, iodine and cobalt concentrations across common aquarium-housed elasmobranchs
Current available thyroid testing may not provide clinically useful values unless methodology is adjusted, or disease is severe. Serum iodine may be a useful marker to investigate thyroid health. Further, while thyroid disease may be identifiable with thyroid hormones, it is not straightforward or substantial enough alone for diagnosis.
