O ACCUMULATE METALS OF THE FISH PARASITES

The ability to accumulate metals investigated mature cestodes Proteocephalus thymalli (Annenkowa-Chlopina, 1923) from the intestine grayling Thymallus thymallus (L.), plerocercoides of tape worms Schistocephalus sp. from the body cavity of the minnow Phoxinus phoxinus (L.) and metacercaries of trematodes Diplostomum phoxini Faust, 1918 from the brain of the minnow. Noted quite clear of link between life-history strategy of the parasite and its ability to accumulate metals.
