Abstract
The variations in the oxygen uptake, reduced weight, metabolic rate and the number of contained, fully formed, healthy, autolysed or dead metacercariae, recorded during starvation in sea water, in vitro, suggest that first mainly stored carbohydrates, then mainly lipids and, in the final stages of starvation, mainly proteins are broken down and metabolised, by the sporocysts of Microphallus pygmaeus.Keywords
