Table 5. White blood cell parameters measured between representatives of the hexaploid group.

Parameter	Ploidy level (6n)
	Acipenser brevirostrum
	our study	Knowles et al. (2006)*	Matsche and Gibbons (2012), Matsche et al. (2013)*
WBC (109/l)	14.13 ± 7.72	57 (28–90)	2.08–8.74
Lym (%)	76.89 ± 7.82	39–74**	30
Neu (%)	15.5 ± 9	13–37	51
Eos (%)	6 ± 4.1	0–1.7	2
Mono (%)	1.06 ± 0.94	0–7.8	3

*Authors presented differential leukocyte count as number of particular cell type and reference interval; **Lymphocytes were originally subdivided as small and large lymphocytes, the number represents the total count of lymphocytes

Eos = eosinophils; Lym = lymphocytes; Mono = monocytes; Neu = neutrophils; WBC = white blood cell
