Abstract
In the body biomass of Anguillicola crassus, males and females, five microe lements (Fe, Zn, Mn, Cu, Co) were determined by the atomic absorption spect rometry. In the mean content values of individual elements, significant qua ntitative differences between both sexes of the swimbladder nematode were f ound. These differences were well related with the hematophagy of the paras ite males and females.
