Abstract
The effect of cestode parasitism on the respiration rate (Mo-2) Of differen t strains of Artemia from wild populations of Spain was studied. Respiratio n rates (Mo-2) Of adults from each strain were not affected by the presence of cysticercoids of Flamingolepis liguloides or Hymenolepis stellorae (Ces tode, Hymenolepididae). This finding could be related to the absence of rep roductive activity (parasite castration) in parasitized females.
